Both feet on the ground now B.E.
Mr Seattle deserves the big picture. Within the next 3 years (his question) SAS will be hireing. Avg pilot age soon 50! SAS with expansion plans, "lønnsom vekst".
Unless Mr Seattle wants a job tomorrow, then maybe a JAA ATPL course would be the best first step.
If Mr Seattle is a Alaska Airlines First Officer, then the norwegian girl, now in control of his life, must be stunning!
