Is the possible closure of the BOH base the reason for the ad in Flight for 2 ATR 42s and 1 ATR 72 offered for lease/long-term contracts?

yes ACL have a spare ATR or 2 they are trying to lease, but this is part of what the company do, we lease aircraft and it looks like the BOH base ATR's will be leased.
pilots are being called recently on contactable with training/leavers but the new arrivals training at the moment should increase the pilots online. The company reckon with the new F/O's coming online, there will be a 1 in 3 chance of being called on contactable, which is the way it used to be.
ACL is a great company to work for and the ATR is a nice aircraft to fly, especially for your first job
