Good points!
However, any agreement must be binding to all parties as long as no substitute agreement is reached.
Pilotforbundet has for several years tried to advocate a new agreement to replace the one on which the merger is based. Neither SAS, nor the SAS pilots are interested. So now Pilotforbundet will try to strike their way to getting what they want.
Guess what, they´re going to get hammered, first in the strike, and if they keep moaning they can expect more pain in the next collective agreement.
