WGAF? Worst CA I ever flew with when I was an FO had 15,000 hrs in the left seat. By contrast, the best CA I flew with had 450 hrs at the time of our flight together, and she handled a serious emergency with extraordinary grace and professionalism.

because everyone wants to know if experience or arrogance was a factor in carrying 30 knots into a turn on a wet surface. Let's not pretend it's the first thing to come to mind at an operator now known for 1 year upgrades.

Same reason 16 year old drivers have high insurance rates.

From what I heard from some at United (could totally be wrong though 😂. ) the captain was 3000 seniority so pretty senior. Not sure about the FO.

They want to know the demographics so they can regurgitate their own preconceived narrative over on Facebook

Why do people always jump to the extreme. If this story is true it is a statistical anomole sir/mam. It is just an anecdote. Generally speaking (that is how the world works) 450 hour pilots suck compared to 15000 hour pilots. There is no substitute for experience. We should extend you some grace as well I suppose. When I was 20 something I used to say really stupid sh1t like this too. "Experience is wasted on the youth". Truer words have never been spoken.
