cap10,
You are correct about the disagreement. However, the ones who disagree do so because of a perceived injustice having been done to them. And they have done so for a long time. As of late management has promised these groups this and that IF they will agree to being nationalized. In other words management uses these groups to try to divide the pilots. I don't blame management, but I don't understand why these groups can't see that they are merely being used by very cynical people. These people will not continue to keep favourites, once they get their way they will turn upon the instruments (the groups of people who so willingly serve management) and try to break them. And then THAT will happen because now they have nothing else to hold on to.
With regards to cost levels I will claim that any given employee in denmark costs the company less than any given swedish or norwegian employee. Why?? Social taxes. For any 100 Kr. I cost SAS a norwegian employee costs 120 while the swede costs 140. Hm hm hm... And while I may have slightly higher pay than my swedish and norwegian colleagues, I also suffer under extremely high taxes and cars with a price tag marked up 180%. My pay somewhat reflects the cost of living in denmark. And the same holds for norway and sweden.
VS1711,
no problem at all. SAS has an extremely complex structure, and we have spent a long time trying to see through the fog. This fight is not about money, it is about power. Power to do whatever you wnat with us. Well, we are not going to take it. When they realize that we are not standing in their way the cheap and logical choice will be to work with us, as opposed to against us.
