Yes. SAIL was only set up bust the pilot unions and start the outsourcing of SAS main a/c types. A life long dream of SAS management.
Regarding the cost saving, you tell me how SAIL saves money for SAS? A/c, fuel, handling, maintenance are still paid by SAS. The only variable parts are the admin and FD/CC cost. Is 40+ admin making this cheaper?
SAS crews are more flexible than year long 5/4 but leave that out of the equation.
AGP fines I never heard of.
