There's an ATR 600 sim in Singapore and Toulouse, with the 500 sims in Auckland, Toulouse and Johannesburg. I might have missed one though.
No endorsement training is done in Auckland though, as ATR provide the Skywest/VARA training themselves and the NZ sim is not owned by them. Word from crew there is it isn't the initial endorsement that's the hold up, it's the later line training meaning they're sitting around for quite some time.

VHS-FTS your post is 100% spot on, initial type qualification is done soon after getting the nod, but line training does not begin 8-12 months after as the training department is backed up.

BPA - its not done as a matter of policy, simply a lack of training captains. This is being fixed as a priority right now. The wait time mentioned here is a little exaggerated - 3-6 months is the current average.

Looks like it
Nothing about the ATR on the website.
I just got the reject email

Sounds like I'd be hardly in with a chance then also DeltaT.
Sorry if this has been covered, but can anyone point me in the direction of the EBA that covers the ATRs? I have looked through the VA and Skywest but I couldn't see anything in them that related to the ATR.
cheers

What's the current number of ATR's in service with VA/SkyWest now?
If the projected numbers required are anything to go by, serious recruitment must be just around the corner?
