Fly to some challenging airports (Madeira, Skiathos). IMO in a more difficult operating environment than Australia.
And they’ve operated in that environment without a hull loss or fatality due pilot error (only one hull loss due severe birdstrikes). They do all of this mostly with 200 hour F/O’s and then promotions to Captain after having several years experience as an F/O.
You forgot to mention, all in a B737.
