    Are US govt contracts special that way? Airbus is also a major military supplier, they own Eurofighter and Eurocopter. They also have the FCAS to act as a money pit, and they are apparently the second largest space company in the world as well, they own ArianeSpace among other stuff.

      A lot of Boeing positions require security clearance due to the military contracts, I’m not sure how that works in Europe but I wouldn’t be surprised if they have something similar.

        I think it’s less standardized, so it’s more of a thorough background check, but I guess it’s similar.

        I once applied to work at NATO and they just wanted a thorough background check.
