We have over 400 mainline pilots, who were fired during the pandemic, with a 5-year rehire clause, who are still on the street while SAS is actively hiring whoever has a pulse into its union-busting subsidiaries. Truly shameful, and totally contrary to the Scandinavian way.
In addition, some 200+ Captains were demoted to F/O´s (some with 23 years service) while DEC´s from around the world are getting on with Connect/Link.
Enough is enough, now we cross the Rubicon, and if management does not wake up, we will find new jobs, and at least walk with our backs straight.
See you on the other side!!
Dear Shared reality.
I really support your course and I also agree that SAS’s actions towards its pilot and cabin crew is unacceptable.
But…… please remember that most pilots are professional and are not only a person with a pulse. It has been very difficult for many of our colleagues the last few years.
Let us hope the SAS pilot group will be successful with their industrial actions and that the aviation industry as a whole can offer better T and C in the coming years.
