Stupid idea, period. Have flown with 18 year CAs who made mistakes. Have flown with 6 month FOs who make mistakes. Everyone has bad days.
Just had a situation go badly on arrival into ATL when the CA updated the changed approach, but failed to EXEC when I confirmed it. I went to sequence the approach, and was confused by the waypoints. Took a few seconds to realize I was on the previous arrival, and he was on the new one, but it wasn’t active. So we flew thru the course. Quickly corrected, but the mistake was already made. It happens. And it was a “senior” cockpit.

Get bored go through trim and your new hires. Have a bad fo? Go through his trim, you'll quickly figure out you're not crazy.
