Not all passengers are stupid either
If an airline chooses to hire and fly young inexperienced crews then it doesn't take long for the pax who travel a lot to figure out what is going on. (They are the bored looking ones who know more than the cabin crew about what is really going on).
Pax select airlines often on the basis of being more likely to walk or drive home. I know I do. A good airline has well trained crews, with reliable captians and decently maintained aircraft. You pay more for this, and willingly, after all it is your life. So crew ability (and good maintenance) should be a competitive differentiator. Bring forth the airline that publishes the experience of its commanders along with the age of its aircraft !!
I also agree with the poster who pointed out military pilots have different objectives than civil ones !!
