My first post and before going to my question wanted to thank everyone for the great and encouraging stories and information shared.

What to know your thoughts on PhD viva examiners with no experience.
Is it true that if your examiners are new to academia you will not pass PhD viva? Some say that this is because novice examiners want to show off, like looking tough academics in front of their colleagues?

This is a risk when anyone takes on a new role where they have some power.
I certainly would never have wanted a new academic in my viva but it doesn't mean they are all like this.
New academics should have to go through training with an experienced person in the viva with them until they can be trusted to do the job properly in my opinion.
