ATR staffing is a mess right now but there are still at least 20 FO's and 20 CA's that haven't finished training. I have been saying for at least the last 3 weeks that I thought furloughs were going to be coming soon. ATR reliability is waaay down (thanks to a few CAs that write up ridiculous crap). One ATR had 5 air interrupts in a week (DFW ATR guys know what I'm talking about). I think ATR block hours in DFW are going to be cut because it hasn't been as reliable in DFW as it is in SJU and MIA. Some of the write-ups are legit and others are just pure BS. That's my .02.
