May I first of all add to that of SLF3 and tilii. It does indeed show good safety awareness by SAS.
Secondly, I have had an idea and as that doesn't happen very often please hear me out. SAS are grounding 43 aircraft. This as stated will affect the operation and therefore their passengers. From an earlier thread I see that SAS were already grounding 21 aircraft, since 9:11. This leaves 22 aircraft's worth of flying. Seeing as bmi have a vested interest in SAS and they are grounding 11 aircraft coundn't these 11 be brought in on a wet lease type arrangement to operate the SAS flights while they are being checked plus mods etc.
If this were to happen this would leave 11 aircrafts worth of flying. With the bmir 146 lufty contract ending soon these could also be brought in. This would just leave a few routes affected and therefore less disruption to the schedule.
Maybe it's not the greatest idea in the world but it may be a way for me and a few others keep their job.
