Hey SK-pilot! One thing, spare me of the "guys out in the cold" story. If everyone cared so much for them, nobody would be out there prostituting on their days off? Selling days off are just as bad as flying past 60!
By the way - we could easily put a stop to the 60+ whores - all it takes is a bit of backbone and some pride and we could force the company into submission in less than a week.
Lets stop being so helpful, and work on the discipline within the unions. Most pilots are a bunch of greedy self centered egos. If there is money and flying in it for them, unity goes out the window. This goes to all pilots; stop paying for training, type ratings, uniforms etc. I have even heard some retards paying for their ID cards.....???
And to any colleague working for SAS competitors (in Scandinavia); think before you offer your hot headed opinions. Most of you are in no position where you have real power....at least for some time to come, so pin your hopes on the SAS pilots to help your pilot group increase their standard of living, by giving you arguments to bring to the table next time you sit down to negotiate. Remember - this is no pissing contest - it can benefit all pilots regardless of the logo on your tail.
Frankly, I have no interest in helping pilots with more money than brains, meaning so-called "cadets" at e.g. Air Baltic. They paid, which means; they made their bed and will have to sleep in it themselves.
Remember; Its better to die standing, than living on your knees!
GO SAS PILOTS!
