I think you will find the failure rate is on S/O to F/O, also with a change of type thrown in.
Difficult to keep a good eye for landings sitting in the back for so many years due to “the lost decade” without doing some sport aviation.
Perhaps Qantas needs some training jets doing freight work or the like for currency like in the 70s.
