Hi Hercules
In 2003 SAS laid off 360 pilots, and wanted to lay off 150 more. The pilot union offered to get 150 to take voluntary leave of absence, to prevent further layoffs. I was one of those volunteers. I get to keep my pension, insurance and seniority, while another company pays my salary.
I was called back in june last year(to fly FCQ400), I am on LOA again, flying B767, and am due to go back again in jan. 2008( at least that was the plan before this happened.
