ATR92

Sounds exciting.
I read in ATI that they were looking at a mid 80s size, but not the 70s...I hope it isn't a deplug of the 90 version. Deplugs are heavy and not really worth it. (look at the A318 vs the A320).

Cool that ATR caught on to a single baggage bay, I thought the 3 different points was a pain..and the largest compartment being in a shared area with pax boarding and galley service was stupid. And speed looks good, but is it enough?? Donno. We regularly push the Q4s right to the 360s...it is incredible when we get to Ottawa, some AC Airbus drivers complain how we leave them in the dust...beating them to YOW by 5 mins easy! ATR should go big...

That's what I kinda like about this Turboliner..big, fast. (Hey, maybe this is ATRs way of gauging public reaction to the next ATR, we could be influencing history here!)
