I'm only curious as to who did the test flight. Seems most are done by fresh Captains on reserve instead of check airmen. Not the safety first choice IMO.

Not enough thought given to something happening after an untrained crew gets into a situation or even signs off a plane later found not to be airworthy.
I'm referring to the second air return... There was no ECAM, rather the crew observed a lower qty. I've made the same mistake and called for mx to service the system. But it's normal for the qty to drop in flight with gear retracted.

The first flight had issues. Not questioning that. The crew did everything by the book. Let's just not all be so quick to say the plane had two hydraulic problems in a row.
