If SAS don’t do it they’ll be run out of business by the likes of Ryanair and Wizz who will. The consumer is voting with their wallet and is forcing everyone to trim costs.
You’re foolish to think Ryanair will become like SAS mainline, and even if they do there’ll be another ULCC behind them to pick up the pieces and keep fares low for the consumer.
SAS Ireland, even with its challenges is helping reduce the cost of flying for SAS by 30%. There’s not a chance they’ll throw that away because of some disgruntled crew members want their six figure salaries and hefty annual leave allowances at the busiest travel times of the year.
Well done to SAS for creating opportunities to increase their business whilst also maintaining a high standard. If you don’t like it, then go somewhere else to work. Nobody cares.
what’s the ROIC for SAIL v mainline please? Also CASK and RASK.? If you’re going to make such statements, at least have the facts at hand to back up your case. Saying costs are 30% less is one thing, but no good at all if there’s no revenue coming in.
Seems to me to be a poor setup from a management that has no clear idea of where they want to take the brand of SAS.
