You would need to consider what kind of experience the total times of the crew consisted of. If his 6000 hours is mostly on the A320 this would make the Captain relatively well experienced, particularly if mainly in that region. Same with the F/O, mostly jet time or first airline job with only a few hours on type and the rest in Caravans ?

There was a case in Australia not too long ago of an F/O climbing above the recommended max alt and nearly losing control.
