Not so sure Guttn, SAS are shutting down ground ops in norway. 2500 workers without pay
but not fired as I understand it. Some sort of unpaid leave? Norwegian seems to be talking about similar actions, more to follow on that one. Thing is, nobody knows the time frame here, if the situation hasn't changed in two weeks time it will be !!!!! creek without a paddle for everyone
. How long can airlines continue to take this unprecedented punishment of their wallets? Cimber-Sterling was hanging by a thread (as I understand it at least) even before the shutdown, by now that thread must be down to a single fiber.
At some point the already broke countries from the recession will have to fork out millions to save aviation. That's bound to be popular with the general masses.
(of course, last time the thing blew up it kept going for a year which would really make for an interesting development in northern europe, but one thing at a time eh
)
We need some winds of change right about now...
