SAS Bashing
Its a thread that is never far from the surface but once in a while an individual needs bringing down a peg or two.
SAS is the largest airline in the this corner of the world but on a european/global scale quite average. Still its nice to be a big fish, no matter how small the pond.
SAS pride themselves on their service and professionalism and this is how they are perceived by the public. This benefits every-one otherwize there would be no well connected partners or competition.
The other side of the coin is, however, that they are often taken to be ******s and any thing else as sub-standard.
They are of course experts in their field; but no more so than Maersk or any other airline.
Regarding the failing of entry tests.
You may have forgotten that passing the tests and being selected for employment are two quite different states of affairs. It is not a right to be employed by any company which you are clever enough to work for. There are no guaruntees in this business!
There are, of course, other criteria. Having passed the tests the question is that of your suitability to the company and the company does take itself very seriously. It is not important how good a pilot may be, if you're not a company man you don't get in. Its not about flying skills anymore.
It has been my experience that many people who are not selected for employment take this rejection too personally, as do some people who are selected!
MD90jockey. Your arrogance, haste to put others down and inability to take a corporate joke is one of the reasons SAS bashing is such a popular sport! For the sake of the company, control your comments.
A fool who says nothing is a wise man.
