What you are describing is exactly what I would like to experience. That type of flight and that type of operation. I have previous experience flying Boeing 737 in Europe, and I have people around me saying that I would be insane if I chose the ATR over a jet at Eagle. But as you say, I will get my chance in time to fly jets again, and I think it would be a great life experience to fly an ATR in the Caribbean.
On the other hand, I am a bit afraid of being "stuck" on the ATR, because I don't know how upgrades and transfers are handled at Eagle. How easy is it to transfer to a jet after flying the ATR for a year?
I take it you are or have been a ATR pilot with Eagle? Any recommendations or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
