Quite right B-737, ATR 72-600's om order which I believe have yet to be test flown....I could be wrong. In the meantime I heard they are planning to kick off with 5 leased AC from ATR, 2 of which I heard were 72's from AerArann, which were sent back to ATR in March/April....so I excpected 25 FO positions to be available from the get go! I was short of hours on type, but as for some pilots not being pre-selected with 1500hrs? That must have been an agency thing, I know 3 at least who got sent out the initial contract with significantly less than that, however it then goes to RAME recruitment and they then decide if or not you will be called for the SIM check. Would be interesting to know how many pilots on ATR went for it.
