No - it means that different airlines wnat different things from their pilots.
Some place a high degree of emphasis upon technical skills and handling ability, with teamworking skills taken for granted or of a lower priority.
Others will attach a high degree of priority to how the pilot in question works within a team, believing that the key to being a good airline pilot is in what lies between your ears, rather than in absolute stick and rudder skills (although, of course, you need to be a competent pilot).
Most of all, they need to get a "feel" for whether or not that person will fit - they don't want square pegs to try to fit into round holes.
