My hypothesis for this is that I think this stems from at some time (potentially still) a lot of people high up in TK and in maintenance are of the “if it’s not Boeing, I’m not going” faith, and are also likely to think that all Airbus is all garbage and “stupid French”, “freakin Metric system” types…which is an ok opinion to have but that bias has found its way into official company policy.
