Hi there,
I've been looking into contracts with Vietnam Airlines on the ATR72. I know every firm may have slightly different contract requirements, but it seems like lately firms are asking for ATR-72-500 time (very specific ATR time). If you have ATR-72 time but not 500 time, is that accepted? I am even surprised most contracts would not even accept 42 time. In most countries the ATR type rating is treated as a blanket rating for the 42/72, and there is very little differences between the types. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated, or any additional information about Vietnam Airlines ATR operations.
Thanks
