Some very interesting comments here, and indeed it would seem that the SAS longhaul pilots group might have reason to be concerned.
But I wonder, should not some of the SLF on these long haul flights be just slightly concerned as well?
I certainly would be, as I recall just a few short years ago the perfectly serviceable CrossAir Saab340 that departed ZRH, then rolled right over and crashed.
Ask yourself, from just where was the Commander, who couldn't read the flight director?
Sometimes, airlines can be penny wise...and pound foolish.
