You are completely wrong. The 560 pilots who were laid off were at the beginning of their career with hiring dates between 2000 and 2020. In recent years straight from flight school to SAS.
Consider this if you are applying for a job with SAS Connect. You are truly a contender to be the "lowest bidder". You will not be an SAS employee, but work for SAS Connect Crew Services A/S which is a subsidiary that they can close down when it fits (exactly what happened to the pilots in the same setup used by Norwegian when the pandemic hit).
The average age of the remaining pilots ( ca 1000) is 56. SAS is hoping to starve them out by not replacing the retiring pilots.
Still interested in working for SAS Connect? Then also consider that the pilot's union Friday 1 October filed a lawsuit against SAS for breach of the CLA (

Technically for the period up until 2019 (before the pandemic) and for only 2 million EUR in compensation but the big reward is to confirm the intention of the limit of wet-lease-in percentage which SAS is trying to circumvent by fiddling with numbers for route profitability and having SAS Connect fly under a different callsign while still being marketed as an SAS flight. If SAS loses the lawsuit your employment at SAS Connect will also be short lived because the wet-lease-in limit has already been passed as of today.
