Escaping the crisis, Greek pilots are seeking jobs in Turkey

According to the Greek weekly TO VİMA, the number of Greek pilots seeking employment abroad is on the rise due to the economic crisis.



One of the firms to see the highest demand of Greek pilot's looking for jobs abroad is Turkish Airlines (THY), which now employs 30.

Referring to Turkish Airlines as a prime example of Prime Minister Erdoğan's government's objective to modernize Turkey, TO VİMA writes that THY has become the most productive and reliable airline in the world. The Greek newspaper also noted that Turkish Airlines began flying with just five planes in 1033 and points out that their first flight abroad was between Istanbul and Athens.
