If after, it's hard to argue a "newbie AA CA".
This is the crux of where we see things differently.
A "newbie AA CA" would be someone who was a CA on the merged list (most fences down) who has only sat in the left seat for a handful of years, in my book. They flew with a former TWA CA, now a FO, who had sat in the left seat for 10+ years, before the buyout. It happened with regularity.
