Question ATR Type Rating provider

Does anyone know, the www & name of the company that provides ATR type ratings in Exeter....I think Exeter, could be wrong. They had a banner on Pprune, a few months back, I think Sky Blue aviation or something to that effect.

Cheers in advance.

Agree with Sky Rabbit, you couldn't wish to meet a nicer bunch of people

Interesting that Keith Luxton, one of the directors is also a founder and COO of Hop Airways

Any guys that have delt with the above company, and undertook the ATR TR, how easy was it for you to obtain employment after training for the rating??

Also what was your experience before undertaking the rating?

Great bunch down at SkyBlue !!

Did my rating there and had no problem in getting a job on their recommendation

Now flying a shiney ATR-72 .....the best office with the best view I've ever had

I had instructor flying experience before and less than 700hrs.

Good luck
