Perhaps it was just some halfwit middle HR person’s perception of how Airbus is operated.
My first hand experience is that their training is very good- the best out of the 7 airlines I worked for...
Having said that, if I were a recruiter, I’d also look at a candidate as a person, not just how well they passed the Compass test... I never had to seat one, How on earth anyone let me to fly those big shiny jets?
