It's slow. I was on a return on the ATR Tues/Weds and the thing didnt exceed 190kts for the first 25mins of flight.
Took nearly 1hr 40 mins. It's too slow versus the Saab and it can't handle the winds like the Saab. Speaking to the crew the other day, they used to know the Saab would always make it when other flights were canx. Not on the ATR.
They also had a crew trainer and trainee CC on my outbound which led to a departure delay. Apparently those that keep the route flying.. ie the gaming companies with their commitments aren't happy.
One thing I will say is that the interior is tonnes better than the Saab. They've done a good refurb.
Saab due to leave altogether ~26th March.
