2unlimited,
SAS is really only good for Scandinavians who want to come home. If you're looking for money, go elsewhere. Most companies pay better. If you're looking for quality of life, it's pretty good (subjectively speaking).
Again, it's a career path you choose. It's not a gig you do as DEC for a couple of years and then move to greener pastures. So can we put an end to your desillusion that direct entry hiring will solve SAS recruitment problem (it hasn't been a problem.... yet anyway).
The roster bidding is not seniority biased.
ZAV,
I know you can't help it, your contractually obliged to go to work, but does it feel good to be part of the 30 % still flying?
And again, have you left earth thinking your SAIL keeps this airline afloat? Cityjet and SAIL had crap regularity last summer when it was needed the most.
