At the outfit I used to be with, while there was no formal policy, it was accepted practice to avoid pairing senior captains because of the increased risk of complacency. This comes straight from the mouth of the horse, the Flight Ops Director was one of them, and he had FOQA data to back this up. (BTW the Pretoria CV-340 also had two senior captains up front).
