We have a large problem here at EK and that is a lack of maturity in terms of age and experience in both seats.
My remarks are not directed at this crew but the situation in general.
On the boeing side of the house it is rare to see a cpt with a seniority number of less than 400 and not an uncommon sight to see cpts with 410+ seniority numbers.

I see pilots sitting with their legs crossed and seat back in cruise and thus blocking the controls in the event of a TCAS RA or having a good chat with the FG1 on the jumpseat as I return from a bathroom break.
