SIA & SAS - more FACTS
Scandinavian0073 has his own opinions, based on heresay.
Let me enlighten you, based on contacts close to the action:
There are no special contracts for SAS pilots or any other pilots when it comes to SIA Cargo. It is a set contract, valid for all, approved by ALPA-S (Pilot union of Singapore).
And for the SAS pilot unions, they have proven to be of no use, as they have been very effective in negotaiting deals that makes the pilots happy, but out of a job, due to high cost. Who wants that..?
But SAS pilots at SIA is a good deal, as it will provide SIA Cargo with high quality pilots for a certain numer of years, and then they go back to Scandinavia, and the SIA pilots takes over.
It is called WIN-WIN. Two quality airlines cooperating, best of both worlds. Everybody is happy.
