Hi
Please tell me if I understood it rightly.
In the cockpit the atmosphere was more relaxed. The four-man flight crew had been making the Moscow-Polyarny-Moscow run for nearly a decade. The pilots, Evgeny Novoselov, 42, and Andrey Lamanov, 43, were both veterans, with nearly 20,000 hours of flying experience between them.
(They have worker together for such a period of time.)

vsuresh(They have worked together for such a period of time.)No. Each has flown many hundreds/thousands of hours. If you add Evgeny's total number of flying hours to Andrey's, the total will be nearly 20,000 hours.
