Narrative:
I have flown the newer model aircraft twice and have lost the ATIS sheet or almost lost it in the crevices forward of the throttle quadrant both times. It is the perfect width to lose single strips of paper. I would bet that the stack of paper is growing underneath the engine display control panel on the newer model aircraft in our fleet which is a safety concern.
