I don’t know what criteria these airlines are looking for, but clearly A320 experience isn’t one of them.
Luckily I did eventually find a UK carrier who wanted me as A320 DEC.
I think they are looking for A320 rated, those are the only ones who seem to be getting assessments. Dare I say age probably came into it in your case?
