So....you make the call Hihi, if you were a paying passenger, who would you rather to fly with? An experienced crew or inexperienced crew?
Experienced crew all the way, ideal crew in my books would be 40-50 yr old captain with 10,000+ hrs, 30 yr old FO with 5000+ hrs, and 20 something yr old SO with 2000+hrs.

But raven what you saying is we might end up with a scenario of a
30 something yr old Captain with 5000+hrs,
20 something FO with 2000+ hrs,
and a 20 yr old SO with 300hrs.

There should be tests done on how many errors each crew above make. The majority of aircrash investigations ive seen/read there is a 40-50something yr old in left hand seat and a 30 something yr old in the right. Probably because this is the highest ratio of airline pilots.
