Maybe, but the question is - Why? Why on this specific flight and not on any of the other 100's of flights they had done before? 1500 hours, or 2000 for that matter, does not necessary mean that you are more qualified than a 300 hour pilot. Try to put a newly a320/737 rated bush pilot, with 2000 hrs, on a Amsterdam to London Heathrow sector. Then compare him to an airline cadet scheme pilot a la CTC/CabAir/Oxford who did his/hers training in and around the busy London TMA. Wanna bet who'll do the best job? QUALITY of training and experience is important, not so much QUANTITY.
