Yeah... that will help.

Pilots with little experience being replaced by pilots with even less experience.

BTW... minimum age for becoming a regional carrier Captain: 23 years

Minimum flight experience for becoming a regional carrier Captain: 1500 hours

Minimum "flight" experience for becoming a regional carrier first officer: 200 hours (and half of that can be in a simulator)
