Is SAS a great company - of course it is, I would call it job security. It is exactly the same with other large airlines.
I applied a few years back and did not get in, at that time I was not to happy however today I'm glad I failed due to the fact I'm now working for a better company with better equipment and most important, the social interaction at work is superior.
Beeing evaluated for a job and rejected is always hard, alot of questions always rise, why did I fail and so on.
But all of us know that different companies have different profiles and requirements.
The funny thing is that none of us would go to a test without studing and prepairing for months. It would be fun to se how much you can improve your testscores by doing so.
As a conclution, the sas bashing has nothing to do with their pilots, but in this job it is kind of important to be humble, otherwise people will notice, right MDpilot???
"Keep the dirty side down" (This can be hard for SAS)
Sincerely,
