As an FO that has heard plenty of stories re cadets without GA exp I have a hypothetical question;
If a captain and an FO were to only fly with each other whenever they flew for, say 2 years, gathering say, 1000hrs-1500hrs flying time together. Now they have both experienced exactly the same situations, and as a crew, have both worked through the same (pardon the pun) ups and downs together. How can one pilot have gained more experience than the other?..
