Or is this a ridicoulous thought?
The whole SAIL/Connect saga is the doing of an old, now gone, Danish COO. And a spiteful Swedish CEO. Fortunately the union was strong enough to put an end to the madness, protect the employees and save our jobs.
Call it SK or Connect, what's ridicuolous is having an Irish Aviation Authority supervise a Scandinavian airline. Run by CAE. The proud legacy of "Scandinavia" is soon gone. Believe it or not, some charter companies demand that their flights are operated by SAS and not some ACMI with pay2fly pilots.
