So what's the overriding factor, experience or seniority? You appear to contradict yourself in that last post.
Let me re phrase your question. Who would be better qualified to fly a 777 (hypothetically speaking), a 5 year Captain transitioning off A380 who's only flown Airbus throughout their career or a B777 FO with 4 years in Company and 7 years previous command and all Boeing time? Experience can be difficult to judge and individual ability should never be related to aircraft size.That's what the final command sign off is for..... either you're safe, or you're not.
At the end of the day it matters bugger all what size airplane you fly, 500 passengers, 350 or 2. The investigation is the same regardless of lives lost!
