Well done to both. However, it is naive to think that this crew has the same overall 'safety' margin as a more experienced crew. I've been doing this for over 30 years, and I still learn something new almost every flight. You can't 'teach' experience, and you only develop the brain trust of knowledge and intuition over a long career. Qualified, yes. Experienced, no. No getting around that fact, and the risk factor rises accordingly.
