Well, you are making a bunch of SAS Mainline crews redundant, arenīt you?
If you are working for SAIL you are not exactly part of an innovative upstart trailblazing new and different ways of doing things. Nor are you an independent competitor. You are flying mainline planes on mainline routes, arenīt you?
And if you ignore the
PR people and fancy management speeches and instead read the fine print in the annual reports you will notice SAIL isnīt exactly contributing to the bottom line.
This whole discussion about T&Cs and how they are/will be/might be improving is a bit of a joke. The
only reason SAIL was created is to pressure the mainline crews into accepting lower T&Cs. Now if you can add 2 and 2 together you might see that if management succeeds in this - lowering pay and pensions for mainline crews, who are already at the low end in Europe - then they obviously canīt raise the same for SAIL crews a whole lot. That would defeat the purpose. Au contraire, management would turn around and use those very lowered T&Cs against SAIL crews.
And should management not succeed, well then there is no point in having SAIL and it will very quickly go the way of all the other SAS non-main airline experiments.
You are pawns in a dirty game. Do you let yourself get played?
