I appreciate it, I usually just ignore that rumor, but a buddy told me people on this board were telling newhires on the ATR about, and I figured I would put a stop to it. Every captain I fly with asks about it. The best advice I can give you is dont believe everything people tell you...
Back to the topic, its a shame the atr's are going away. I always assumed the we would move on to the -500 but I guess the company/Delta have other plans
