while continuing to grow as individuals

Only one person really grew, and that is Captain Sulu.

It kind of doesn’t make sense for Kirk to still captain the Enterprise, especially given the disdain that the admiralty seem to have with him. I also feel like he doesn’t really have a mission any more like he did during the show. Given that Starfleet wasn’t desperate for officers at the time, I would expect that Captain Kirk should be captaining a desk and only getting pulled in because Spock wants Kirk.

Spock shouldn’t be a captain in this movie. He is doing high level admiralty/government work here. It was already accepted that Spock would retire from Starfleet and become an ambassador. Now is the perfect time to do it. It also gives a way for Spock to outrank Kirk in making decisions while not being an admiral, something which is kind of banked into the premise of the show.

Chekov was a first officer in Star Trek II, he should be a captain by now.

Scotty is slumming it as chief engineer of the Enterprise at this point in his life, especially as the Enterprise isn’t the most up to date ship.

McCoy displays what appears to be incompetence in letting the Klingon Chancellor die. A doctor on the front lines of the Klingon Cold War should know enough about Klingons to be able to treat Klingons.

Uhura should know how to speak Klingon, also because she was on the front lines of the Klingon Cold War.

The only one who progressed in his career is Sulu as he is has a prestigious Captain’s chair, but it makes sense given his age and experience.
