DF,
This tactic is certainly appearing here in the USA too; if not common, it's not unheard of either even at the legacy level. I don't understand why it's necessary or advantageous to the HR people or airline itself to be abrasive with an applicant.
In some accounts I hear, they even go as far as playing "good cop-bad cop" where one member of the panel will be courteous and another will be abrasive and confrontational. Maybe they're just poking the caged squirrel to see what it takes to make him mad ?
In any event, this tactic is unacceptable. One can only hope they don't accurately represent the character of the airline itself once a person gets away from these pencil jockeys.
