You have a point, but i think that what experience gives one is the realization that things can go wrong and will.
This capt basically has not had to make a decision by himself ever. He paid to be a copilot at what 400 tt? that left approx 150-200 hours of any type of flying where he was responsible for decisions. To me the flaw here is obvious.
Yes everyone has to start somewhere, but the lack of a wide breath of exposure to what can happen imo doomed this crew and their passengers.
