RTO, you´re wrong and that´s the really big stink in Scandiland right now. Pilots with many years seniority are being axed and have no rights whatsoever with the other SAS carriers. They have to apply, pass the interview and start from scratch just like any outsider would. Seniority is gone, pension is gone, moral is gone. This of course is great for the B1 guys, they´re moving up and ahead like there´s no tomorrow. Thing is, sooner or later B1 will be getting too big, and then the lay offs will start there and off it is to Estonian or whoever will be in vogue.
Yes, the unions are very much to blame. They lived like fat cats for many years and were criminally naive in not seing this coming, despite being warned.
But you can´t run a company this way long term.
JL looks good at the moment.
So did Lorenzo once.
I think SAS´s days are numbered.
