Doubtful that SAIL will close down. Mainline cannot absorb 9 jets. They are short themselves.
I believe SAIL crews (pilots and cabin) have refused to sign the new contract for the 2nd time. Good on them. A couple of heads have already rolled at CAE. I saw a letter that was sent to the pilots, stating recruitment wasn’t an issue as guys from WOW and EZY were showing a “genuine” interest. 😂😂😂 That dude no longer works for CAE.
Apparently negotiations are ongoing with CAE, SAIL and SAS. Here’s to a positive outcome and improved conditions for all. The crews there actually want to make it a success, but were frustrated by CAE and their denials.
