cmvidini,

The ATR is a great aircraft to fly, quite tricky to land, you donīt have the stupid voice to remind you to "retard, retard, retard" , you don't have the ground spoilers to keep the aircraft on the ground after the touchdown to avoid bounces , you donīt have the autothrottles.... But you'll have 2 power levers and 2 condition levers to play with
You'll do generally lots of handflying and short field performance, you'll learn for real what flying in icing conditions means.. in level 2 ...and in level 3
If you like sports, then an engine flame out after take off is for you!

Excellent fuel consumption, which means a bright future with this aircraft.

As for the salary, it depends on the company....

good luck for your choice
