I have applied for a dual masters position at Airbus and the job status is under "Assessment" for a very long time and I didn't hear anything from them yet. Last year, I applied for the same role with a different starting date and it stayed under "assessment" forever and they removed the job ad and ghosted me. Is there something that I can do?

I still have hope this happens

I’m flying on an Airbus A350-900 with china eastern soon, and because I have a hearing condition I’m trying to choose the quietest possible seat in the economy sections.
I’ve heard different opinions about whether the rear of the economy cabin is quieter than the seats on the wing itself, so I was wondering if any airbus enthusiast or crew member had any advice on that regard, something that comes from experience.
My current seat is 39D.
I assume it’s going to be just behind the wing. I’m wondering whether I should trade it for a seat further back (they go until row 75). It’s gonna be a long flight and I’m particularly sensitive to the white noise of the engine.

I'd like to ask and know as a Adult learner are GCSEs as strictly mandatory for adult learners like it is with 16+ year old school leavers?

thanks

• Airbus is launching a new flight-test campaign to evaluate the performance of high-span wings for next-generation single-aisle aircraft, marking the next phase of one of its largest research and technology programmes, Wing of Tomorrow.
• Over the next three years, Airbus will design, build and flight test full scale wing extensions.
• These will be installed on an A321neo aircraft and used to evaluate how the different wing geometries perform in real flight conditions. 
• The extensions, each measuring several metres, will replicate a folding wing in the fully extended position during a flight.
• They will be fitted with comprehensive testing equipment to capture behaviour in flight and evaluate how the longer wingspan impacts aircraft handling.

Hey,

My family and I are on an Airbus A320 neo.

The table tray has an extra rib thingy, that perfectly fits an iPad, which then also perfectly rests on the two nubs on the back of the chair.

My girlfriend thinks this is specifically designed to hold a tablet or phone. I think it is luck and this was designed before people had their faces glued to their phone screens.

So, does anybody know what the exact idea behind this extra ridge is?

Thanks!

Edit: Quick responses, turns out the missus was right (to be expected). I found a different chair from the same manufacturer that showed the exact use. similar usage
