Default Eagle ATR 42 in SXM?

Does anyone know if there are any old 42s still in Eagle paint flying around San Juan? I was told by 2 different airline pilots that about 2 weeks ago a 42 landed in SXM on a revenue flight with pax using the Eagle callsign. I believe that the pilots know the difference between a 42 and 72 because they described it as a "runt 72."

Anyone seen such a thing or knows about it?

The 42's are long gone. The only one left that exists is in Simland and it has its good days and bad ones. More bad than good.

No such creature in existence. Maybe they just got a bad look at the 72 and thought it looked like a runt. We fly into SXM daily.

All 42s are long gone and flying for places like FedEx. I've seen a Shorts or a CASA (they're both really ugly and I don't know one from the other and I don't care!) in Miami, off of RWY 8, in Eagle colors - but it has the lettering removed.

Perhaps the "runt" comment was just the fact it's an ATR or turboprop or maybe these "airline pilots" don't know the differrence between the -42 and -72.
