The buyer question
Which decisions define the Toulouse aerospace mandate — OEM programme work at the documented delivery scale, or SME supplier work — and which programme outcomes will the candidate personally own?
What the public record shows
The frame is the verified Airbus delivery record: 475 deliveries to 83 customers documents the rate the ecosystem runs at; Toulouse's OEM-SME split organises around that rate.
Programme facts say nothing about any Toulouse employer's candidate pool, wages or vacancy duration.
What changes in this market
Toulouse mandates split by tier. OEM mandates prove themselves in programmes delivered. SME mandates prove themselves in parts delivered to specification. Systems mandates prove themselves in systems certified.
