Forgetting?
Stop refering to hypotetical theories! In a hopeless bankrupt company the employees would be laid off. Nobody was laid off!!!
Call your lawyer, and he will tell you what the rights of these employees are according to norwegian law.
Yes, BU had a net debt of one billion (milliard) krones, but that was from one thing only; one year competing on OSL-ARN route. P... off SAS! The route was laid down, improve 800 was taking effect, and 6 mnds later BU earned 800 mill!
Yes, they could have laid down the company and let SAS take over. A SAS on it's knees. What would have happend? EVEN MORE outcry in the media! The SAS Concern new this. In addition a bigger, stronger "Norwegian" would have begun, and we would have had a new Sabena, Swissair, Pan Am, TWA, Braniff.....
