Hung,

I do belive you know that my feelings towards SAS is mixed. On one side they do provide excellent service when I am flying, and the majority of their employees are true professionals. However, there are quite a few rotten apples, who tend to belive that whatever they do is right because they are SAS. If you try to revers the favour they go ballastic, because they are SAS. Again, it is a minority, but they never the less succede very well in p*ssing me off quite often. And as said earlier, mainly in the lower echelons of the company. I don't really deal of lot with your management staff, but from what I have dealt with them they came across as friendly, cooperative, imaginative and helpful.

No, I've never been employed SAS, nor would I like to so in my present line of work. However, I do know 2 guys who's been working in CPHOW (Operations) for several years and just can't have a shot at a job on the next level for lack of totally meaningless tuition. I'm specifically talking about a HA or HD in economics, organisation, marketing or whatever. Doesn't really matter, as long as you complete either a HA or HD education.

In my mind, that would be tantamount to asking a FO upgrading to CAPT to complete a MBA in corporate strategy making, way over the hill. Trust you get my point.

And with that, I think I'll end the SAS bashing for and make my way to the gate here in CPH. Seat 1A on a MD80 going towards BRU has by name on it. SAS, of course.
