As long as they don't stray too far from the checklist or something crazy doesn't happen that isn't in the checklist they will be fine.
Is that really the measure of a good pilot? What happens when "something crazy" does happen?
These days, you'll have a barely experienced captain, with a new cadet coey, flying VFR flights, in IMC conditions, in badly managed crowded airspace, in foul weather. As TMTS wrote,
Hopefully they can fill the experience bag before the luck bag runs out...
Glad I'm outta the place.
