it's nonsense to say that just because someone is older and 'experienced' (thus some draw conclusion 'wiser') that they will ALWAYS do a better job than someone who is perhaps younger and newer to the job.
It's not what I have said. My point is that we need
all age groups, and that they
all take advantage from the mix, and fill eachother's gaps, that in the case of unexperienced people (noticed I never said "young" alone, always "young unexperienced") is the lack of experience.
I didn't point to how the mature profit from the young because that was not the topic: the topic is an unbalanced crew, all in the unexperienced side, and how they can benefit from working with more experienced people .
What happens in QF (of which I know nothing) is not to be made a general case. In my personale experience, Even after years of flying, I'm always happy to learn from those who are more experienced than I am.
