Turkish Airlines

Some CA Captains are applying to THK.

The advertisements are being sent around.

I told everyone that I was also offered an interview through my agent even after divulging a RoC passport.

I suppose the RoC Government is going to learn the hard way that Aviation has no borders and that there is a brotherhood.

One thing is for sure, there is a lot of opposition to Aegean Airlines.

It's a really big diverse and Bueatiful world out there.

These guys can't do another job and they got families to support. The aircraft is their second home and they are happy there. Turkish Airlines is just a huge and ever expanding privately owned enterprise with pilots from all over the world including many ex Olympic Captains. Soon it appears that the first Cypriot Nationals will be there too.

It is also the airline that has a majority share in Greek Airline Aegean. So in effect they too work for THK in a way.

It's an interesting world. Middle East, Asia, Europe ... it's all so fascinating and wondrous ... you need to be positive when your destined for KSA. So many westerners there too without such an insulated world view as yours.

Don't see THK there anywhere, let alone as a majority shareholder.

Which company? The report shows that Aegean had 66 million euro of net profit in 2013.

Where is Paphitis to substantiate his claim about the ownership of Aegean?
