I am there too, but didn’t volunteer for it (now Cityjet employee, former SAS Group). So I know what is is like, since SAS still offers ok conditions, but Cityjet don’t. I will not complain, but just keep on looking for a better job....

Let me comment on that “SAS hates pilots”. IMHO that is not correct. SAS hates the strong unions, which makes it impossible to have a sound and strong company, earning money to the shareholders, let alone that most Co-Pilots on long haul earns 75-80.000 £ a year in basic salary, which is almost double of what the market dictates if is was not regulated by unions and Collective Agreements. And SAS hates the fact, that they have not been able to change the political level, so the tax level is the same for all European players on the market. This has undermining SAS business strategy for many years, but now the SAS board have had it. They will keep on outsourcing what ever they can, to SAIL, Cityjet, Regional Oü, Air Nostrum, and other players like them.
