Greetings everyone,
I'm hoping to apply to be an air stewardess after my studies in a couple of years, and I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Onur Air or Turkish Airlines employ non-Turkish staff?Or how I would go about enquiring? I hope to learn Turkish in order to increase my chances, but when I have flown with Onur Air before, I have only seen Turkish flight crew.
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes.

I don't suggest either company.
"Onur Air" doesn't pay enough attention to technical check ups of their planes and to maintainence. I would never step in as a passenger (let alone as a crew) into one of their planes for security reasons.
THY has currently a very annoying management. They have assigned the most wrong, conservative, uneducated, untrained, unexperienced people as managers to that company. I listened to one them on TV recently and it made me sick listening to that man.

Carla, maybe you could try the Dutch/Turkish company Corendon! I think you don't have to be Dutch or Turkish to work there, as long as you can speak English, so that you can communicate with your colleagues!
And about what Erdinç says.. I think Onur Air has this problem because éveryone wants to fly cheap all the time! Of course they don't get enough money then to do all these check-ups..
And there are so many companies who've got a bad management, but that probably doesn't make it less nice to be a stewardess right? 
Good luck!

Greetings,
I wasn't talking about bad management. I was talking about people with sick minds. These people have been assigned to these posts because of their politic-religious connections.
They will employ their own kind poeple in all important positions and this will affect everybody in a company. They will threat people not according their performance but according their commitment to their conservative community. They will consider whether or not a person is drinking. It is needless to say that they will see all stewardess as unethical women*. These people think that by definition all young, beautiful, single women with short skirts are unethical.
I know these poeple. They use a dirtly language among themselves even at higher positions. You have no idea about the level of sickness among these folks. Once one this kind person told me that all females university students are unethical*.
I can recognise sick minded people from their behavior and from their looks. They could be annoying from a distance let alone to work and to talk to them.
Recently in a thy flight a steward who was just employed by the new management refused to give a passenger an alcoholical drink. He was not told to do so but he did so as a personal desicion. Because they just exist this way. I hope you have an idea now on what I mean.
*unethical is used to replace stronger swearwords they use.

Hi Carla,
My friend has just come back to England from Turkey and he was teaching pilots to fly. I will e-mail him later and see what he knows.
He is off soon to play with some Turkish pilots (they take a plane from Antalya and just cruise around-nice if you can do it). Some one should know so will be in touch later.
