I think that a lot of what he says is wrong knold.
.. However there is never an excuse for ignorance, especially in situations like these, when private investors are placing life and limb on the line to fight unfair (government backed!!!) competition.. And no, I do not mean they do it ideally, their objective is also to make dosh, however they make it fair and square. By trimming an organisation to the slimmest there is and by focusing on the core-buisness (which noone can accuse SAS of doing, what with their hotels and all other pieces of crap they've got) you can offer flights, not for free (as MoL seems to think) but cheaper than what the general public has got to put up with for too long in your neck of the woods..
How do you know that those investors make it (dosh) fair and square.
In case you havenīt noticed, SAS is in the process of actually trimming the organisation. Shows in the last financial results.
In case you havenīt noticed, the SAS hotels are making money for the organsation. What other pieces of crap do you mean.
They just sold a little piece of crappy reservation system called SMART for 950 mill. Good deal.

Again, anybody will charge the pax what they can get away with. And as long as it is within the rules of competition, thatīs exactly the system that youīve all voted for. Capitalism..supply and demand.

Bad for Transwede, sure. But I guess that SAS/Linjeflyg in the end offered a better deal. I stand to be corrected on this, as I know absolutely nothing about that case.

Why donīt you wait and see, what authorities will say to all the ugly things that you have already decided that SAS will do to scre* Goodjet.

Oh, and when will you acknowledge that, yes governments own 50% of the stock in SAS. Private investors place life and limb on the line by owning the other 50%. SAS is not getting any money from governments. Happened many moons ago. Itīs vice versa today. When will you all accept that.
