Why Did I Resign From Turkish Airlines

Welcome aboard!

I started my flying career with Turkish Airlines. I still remember these days. I was a rookie and had only 200 flying hours before jumping into the right seat of the B737. It was truly amazing! After gaining some experience, I also started teaching at Turkish Airlines. I had great career opportunities at Turkish Airlines but I chose to resign. In this video, from an ex-Turkish Airlines pilot perspective, I explained why did I resign from my country's flag carrier. I hope you will enjoy my video! I would appreciate if you like and share this video as well as subscribe my channel.

I resigned from Pizza Hut, still love pizza hut but it didn't work for me anymore with uni etc. No love lost. Resigning shouldn't be weighted with scandal, most of the time people just can't suit anymore.

Thank you Caner for sharing your airline experience. I was about to apply in Turkish Airline as DEC on narrow body, after watching this, you saved my time. Well done. All the best on your new job in US.

Caner, very few people take bold decisions to follow their interest. It takes lot of courage especially when our bill are fixed to pay off. I am a long distance runner, hardly now get time to train as my office roles have gone up and so my child turned 5 yrs old to go to school. I ran 25 plus half marathons and 3 times 50km finisher. But now i am returning from my passion. Trying hard to get there and be there. Of course cannot resign though. Take away from your video was we have to think what is best for us. Beyond duties we have to live our own life.

One question, I want to become a Turkish Airlines pilot, but many sites say that Turkish Airlines pay about 56000 TRY per month on average, which is 1473 usd right now, but is this true? If so then isn't it too low?

I did wanna fly for emirates, quatar airways or turkish but now im thinking twice about it

[ISLOMAKBAR]

Hi! I want to ask that how can i beome a pilot in turkish, for example which pilot training school you advice or which university you advice?

[benburns]

Thanks Caner for this video of why you left your job at Turkish Airlines. They say that inflation and costs are even worse in Turkey now with all the Russians going there trying to escape the war. The cost of apartment rentals increased a lot and some Turkish people can hardly afford the cost of living there.

Great video! What aircraft do you fly now in the US? Are you enjoying yourself so far?

[ferditayfur]

hi Caner great video. planing to sign on flight school for a pilot career currently living in Chicago. according to FAA minimum atp is 1500 hours. is any shorter than this for turkish airlines just in case maybe could appy there to build up multi engine in Turkey. I am currently permanent residence in US and have my Turkish passport. Could you recomend me applying for THY to build up atp hours faster on a multi engine aircraft ? i dont know what is the minimun atp hours to apply for THY ?

Do you know if other airlines in Turkey like Pegasus and Sunexpress are better for quality of life ?

Cadet programına henüz başvuru yapmış ve ingilzce sınavını bekleyen biri olarak açıkçası söyledikleriniz bir ufak korkutmuyor değil. En büyük problem ise mesleğe başladıktan sonra sağlık sebepleri yüzünden ayrılmak zorunda kalırsam elimde yapabileceğim başka bir mesleğin olmayışı. Mühendis temelli gelenler en azından kendi mesleklerine dönebiliyorlar.

Video Türkçe olsaydı bu yorumlar malum partili trol dolacaktı.

Havacılıkla ilgilenen bir doktor olarak söylüyorum, dediklerinizin önemli bir kısmı bizim için de geçerli. Bu ülke nasıl hakkımızı ödeyecek bilemiyorum.

How did u join united if you don’t have a USA citizenship?

[DOMANBaraa]

I am planning to study aviation in Turkey, there are two options I have, and I would be grateful if you could tell me which is better. The first is to study at a two-year academy and obtain a license. The second option is for me to enter a university and study a major called professional aviation. The student studies for 4 years (of which two years are in an academy contracted with the university) so that the student graduates with a bachelor’s degree and license. I also own Turkish citizenship, so can I get a job at Turkish airlines easily? or what's your advice to me.

Hello, how did you obtain a green card?

[johngaither]

Your work ethic and loyalty would condemn you to a regional airline in the US. You'd be flying puddle jumpers between Enid, Ok. and Newton, Ks. if you were lucky. You don't have a family and you're a young man. That's time to work. A pilot has no need for a PhD. unless he doesn't plan on being a pilot much longer. Airlines aren't stupid. They know what you're doing and why.
