You still don't get it do you!!
You say the SAS contingent will be a welcome addition to SIA. They will only be welcomed by the SQ Management as it lets them off the hook to find Pilots who otherwise are not prepared to join. No doubt SAS are guaranteeing the Bond for training instead of the Pilots footing the bill thus subsidizing the deal.
Why have SAS got such a huge surplus of Pilots???
If as you say thery are Cash Rich why not keep them on the Payroll or terminate their services and make them make their way in the real world. Perhaps the "Scandanavian" system of Welfare from birth to the grave would give them all nervous breakdowns??
SAS has been a protected Airline as have many in Europe owned by the "State" ie Taxpayers and their days are numbered unless they get their act together.
