Rip that if that really was the case. That said, they could be new to the company, but maybe not inexperienced aviators. Maybe they have plenty of airbus time before UA? Maybe lots of time in other airframes? The point being that we should really wait for the actual story to come out before pointing fingers (not saying you are, but others are).

I can't believe we're going to start the "Junior captains are a danger to the airline" narrative while simultaneously ignoring the very senior captains who are responsible for two very high profile incidents as of late, and the one 'not that new of a hire captain' who let the garbage coach for the garbage baseball team in the cockpit.

It's called laziness. It's easier to just place blame on something like seniority, gender or age.
Everyone is able to make mistakes regardless of years in this industry. That's why complacency is so dangerous in this profession.

And breaking security protocal is simply boneheadedness and has nothing to do with experience, age, or skill.

It never fails to amaze me how people automatically equate a seniority number with experience. I'm as junior as they get at UA, but the guy just below me on the list has 20 years as a widebody CA at a (ME3) airline. Yet judging by his employee number, he's "really junior" and therefore clueless, according to some people...
