Difficult as compared to what? Going from simple training aircart to any complex jet or turbojet aircraft will be difficult but I have not gathered that Silver's failure rate is anything worth comparing to other regionals. Everything that I have learned from my sources is that the ATR is a very fun aircrat to fly in a fun envrionment. It is all relative.
