you'll often see a crew with a brand new Captain, and a brand new FO. Often no-one with more than 6-7 years experience in the company
I think I might be looking at this too simplistically BUT, what difference is there between the example quoted above and what was happening say 10 years ago?Commands were 3 years at EK, so often enough there would've been a flight crewed with the most junior captain with the most senior FO which then just had 6 years company time between them at most.
Granted the experience requirements were greater, but I'm still seeing new crews with considerable experience who are ex-defence force, former captains still joining the ranks. Perhaps it's too easy to tar every new joiner with the same brush that they've just cracked 2000hrs.
