They're still inexperienced. They just have a lot of classroom and observation time. That is not the same as being a pilot. Never will be.
Watch guys on reserve or who bid FB/IO/IRO/IOR all the time, on average they make more errors than the guys who fly day in and day out and they already have thousands of hours of flying time.
