What I think is really important is the quality of mentoring she is receiving. I once sat in the jump seat of a Qantas 747 where in the LHS was one of the company's most experienced captains, and in the RHS was a long haired pimply 21 y/o. I really do hope this is a similar situation rather than some operator trying to show how special their sprog is.

There are a number of situations where having all the technical knowledge of your machine is trumped by experience.
Saying "no".
Good airmanship.
Putting pushy clients back in their spot.
Knowing the hazards of the areas you fly in.
The list goes on.
