So why did SAS create SAIL?
SAS as a legacy career have worse conditions then LCC. When I heard only 40% had fixed roster pattern I was very surprised. Also regarding pay if the figures I have read SAS have fallen way behind, so the fact they are hiding behind calling themselves a legacy career, means very little if your TC's are worse then companies like EJ / RYR.
SAIL must be seen as an expansion of SAS. SAIL avoided any issues and discussions of changing the structure within SAS.
Seniority based aspects can act as an hindrance in this case. The attrition rate at SAS has at times been extremely low, so you end up with a situation where people get stuck at wrong end for a very long time.
In what way does seniority make your job safer?
