“You can take the inexperience out of that. The 55 year old captain on board had more than 18,000 hours flight time.”
What about his co-pilot?
Sorry, took me a while to go back and find it:
“The pilot is Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a Malaysian national aged 53.
He joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and has 18,365 flying hours.
The first officer is fellow Malaysian Fariq Ab. Hamid, 27.
He joined the airline in 2007 and has 2,763 flying hours.”
