The Captain of the KLM 747 on Tenerife in 1977 was exceptionally seasoned too - Check Airman in fact. The crew of EAL FL 401 was pretty seasoned as well.

I think the greatest attribute a person can have is knowing what they are comfortable with or not, and having the strength to say "I am not comfortable, and I am not doing this". To me, that is what being a Captain is all about - it seems to be a sign of emotional maturity and judgement. What some on here are comfortable with is irrelevant if they are not the Captains of a particular flight. Just my opinion.
