Amazingly enough in many realities in EASA as well as a few others jurisdictions worldwide, You will find that a newly promoted Captain with 100 hours (yes one hundred) PIC time is considered "experienced" and can hence fly with any newly 250 hours released FO. Forget Senior Trainers flying with released FOs, hence non training flights, that's "not efficient" or having experienced (and skilled, which is not always the same) FOs to fly with newly promoted Capts as well. Let's enjoy the deregulation.
