Reassuringly not. Working with a 3rd operator who's done exactly that, detailed knowledge of at least another 2. The most rudimentary really run on MS-Word PDFs and Dropbox.
Not disputing your path was optimal for the era, fleet (mixed manufacturers is a headache) and local CAA, just that the options exist. Your OM-B (elements) does not have to be inside Airbus FlySmart, although not everyone can start with a clean slate. Striking a good deal with Airbus is unfortunately only available to those buying new aircraft, true.
