The Captain had 3000hrs total, 1500 on type and was 44 years old. I don't consider that alot of experience to be honest, and the age against hours indicates a 'career changer'.
That is a real snap judgement on someone that you do not know. PERHAPS the numbers tell of a person who realised that the 'glamorous' long haul was costing family life? Perhaps someone decided to work short haul local to be more human?
