Default Silver Airways replacing Saabs with new ATRs

This is good news. Those new ATR-42-600s are very nice. I hope you guys get a good pay bump too....

Default Updated cockpit

The 600 series is a nice airplane and the cockpit has been updated. Here's a picture of the ATR-72-600 which as the same cockpit as the smaller ATR-42-600:

Looks like Bahamasair is already using the ATR-42-600 in the region:

Yet Carribean Airlines is looking at replacing their -600 series ATR's with Q400's due to their high AOG rate.
