Experience counts
In an air crash that killed 78 people in Washington DC in 1982, the pilots were young, although one of them had even flown a fighter plane before. Both had been extensively trained but had not flown the Boeing 737 too much. Actually they had not gotten to log in enough hours to start being called experienced. The pair made a series of mistakes that led to a terrible 1982 accident.
