I came across the thread because I will be flying on an ATR 72 for the first time in a couple of weeks. I was interested in how much extra legroom there is in row 1 and whether this would be worth the extra wait when deplaning through the back door - Seatguru and Seatexpert weren't especially useful for gauging these points. This old thread did not come up on my FT searches but I found it through a Google search. Despite being short, the thread gave me all the information I needed. Even though it is seven years old, I believe the information is up to date as I am pretty sure the ATR hasn't been refurbished since 2002. Therefore I would say a compelling reason to bump the thread is so others looking for this information will now find it. Sorry for not stating my reasons earlier.
