FedEx Feeder ATRs

[Paladin]

Is FedEx Feeder operating the ATR-42/72 on scheduled runs yet? If so, what routes? Whats the long term plan on acquiring more of them?
Cheers,

I was sent to ATR school in anticipation of them being up and running, but sad to say I probably wont see one untill winter.

currently we are running three caravans on a new run because the ATR's are behind in getting on line.

We have another outbase that four caravans are flying freight out of. The fedex co would like to have an ATR do that work for us. The guys flying that run would rather the ATR program not catch up to them, as they live in this town and would probably be displaced in the system or have to go look for work else where.

I say bring it on...I'm ready for some two pilot 121 flying and growth at the feeders. We are fedex's regional and I expect as they grow, we will grow.
