Hear hear,
Under normal circumstances I'm a big favourite of some friendly SAS bashing, but that is a part of my Danish heritage to put down everyone and everything who sticks thier heads up and cry "Damn we're / I'm good". If nothing else, then for the pure hell of it.
In my line of work (dispatcher) there is no way I will ever even contemplate applying for a job with SAS. It has, from what I know, a very rigid company policy from which it will not deviate. Should I have had a similar job with SAS and like to advance to the next level, it would be necessary to complete several evening courses in commercial schools. Not that they would be necessary for the successfull command of the job, that's just the way it is. However, that is not the case with my company. Here you are judged by ability and willingness more than anything else. Schooling comes second and is not seen as an advantage if not needed for the job.
Each to his or hers liking, but rigid systems has never been my cup of tea. Especially when they are run by Swedes out of Stockholm
Secondly, and on this you may pick at me all you like, they are by and large a flock of geasers who are under the firm belief that SAS is the best, biggest and most beautifull company in the world. I have witnessed this several times, especially with new hires, and there is no way on earth you can reason with them.
As a flightcrew.dk friend would have put it "Hardhat deployed"
