"I worked there briefly 25 years ago"
Was that before Jan Carlzon built his glass palace HQ? I used to go there often and was amazed at the culture. They had a well paid army who would evaluate new planes for months or years, only for it all to be overturned by a quick board decision. Hence the MD/737/Airbus fleet mess.
Plus the cabins seemed to be designed by the unions for the maximum comfort of the cabin crew.
It was obvious then and it still is now that the population of the 3 countries can't support 3 hubs, and deleting long haul from Oslo or Stockholm sends the pax via LHR or AMS, not CPH.
The writing has been on the wall for a very long time.
P.S. for an outsider, they were good honest friendly people to work with. Including their Norwegian jokes. Apparently the Scots are not so tight after all.
