The SHV base crew used to fly to MEM on the weekends but that didn't last long since that base got understaffed pretty fast and they gave that weekend flying to MAC.
The MEM ground crews were bad, you had to keep a close eye on them, but operating there was cool though.
The company is not bad, the schedule is awesome but they don't pay enough and it is not the place to go if you want to build time, be it 121 or TPIC time, you won't fly much there, maybe 300 hours a year.
The ATR training has a lot to improve. Flight Safety does a lousy job and a lot of people got pink slips when I was there, the ATR is not very automated, you have to work flying that thing, but it is great fun once you get the hang of it.

You do the same flight every time, that gets old, although that can be improved if you get the floater position.
If there was a way to fly more I would have stayed.
