EasyJet's bias against A320 pilots

So, for interiviews, EasyJet gives all applicants a sim on the 737 even for jobs on the A320.
I have just heard of two pilots, one a FO and one CA on the 320 with plenty of hours and though they do not have the exact reason they were not hired, they believe it was due to the sim ride.
Now, I hear of another CA with the same problem.
Yet, there were pilots during these guys interviews that were 737 guys trying to get the 320 job and they got it.
One of the Captains was told by the instructor (that has never flown a bus), that all planes are the same so the boeing should not have been a problem.
Hmmmmm, where did they get this genius?
So now Easy likes 737 pilots to fly their 320 better than pilots that already have lots of hours on the 320.
Pretty weird.

BTW, 737 people stay calm, I am not saying you are bad pilots, but you should get my point.
You all just have the odds in your favor at Easy.
