OK, I understand the
sentiment but don't you see the flaw in the argument you've presented? You alluded to being uncomfortable on the jumpseat during an approach into an airport in challenging conditions, flown by a crew with low or limited experience. You then used this illustration to support a position which, when queried, was found to be baseless. You yourself stated that the crew did a good job.
Now had you said that it was a shambles or you felt unsafe then, albeit on a rumour forum, your argument might have had more credibility. As it stands, your post rather defeated your own argument in that in an attempt to highlight the experience level in the flight deck (and presumably your position that lots of experience = good pilot and low experience = bad pilot) all you did was illustrate the ability of the crew, which in turn will be seen by some to reflect the standards maintained by the airline.
Thanks for reminding me to have a pinch of salt ready with the biscuits.
