Can you spell actually?

Do you mean "D" as in "departure atis" that all aircraft use from the busier airports?.

"D" on a jepp plate actually means "digital atis", the funny talkin' computer man. Not departure atis.

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that pretty much every airline flight crew uses Atis when it is available, be it digital voice or human voice.

D(igital) atis can be received on ACARS.

Of course I can spell I am a pylot. No really, the D is for digital and NOT DEPARTURE.

Thanks

Are you asking which regionals use ACARS to get D-ATIS or are you asking if regional airlines get ATIS at all? I'm confused.

On another note, I would like to add that regional airline pilots aren't paid enough to get the ATIS.

That's correct. All we do is wait about thirty seconds before we check in. Eventually somebody else will check in with the current ATIS, and viola, now we know what is current without actually listening to it.

And in ATL it works like a charm, because when you check in with the current ATIS, ATL Approach will tell you what runway to expect. And at some point during the landing phase, some DAL pilot will ask for a wind check, and now you know how to set up your speed bugs.

Seriously, if I had an ACARS that could get ATIS for me, I'd use it everytime as opposed to listening and writing it down 8-10 times per day.
