I always thought that the ATR's should have more movement......
Because everyone who's forced onto the ATR as a newhire will most likely jump to the Jet after the 12 month seat lock expires, so that should create more movement above you, even in your 1st year.
I have also read here that flying the Turbo-prop makes one a better pilot overall, however, the flip side is, that the ATR training is much more difficult than the Jets...
Can you please explain more....
