Sadly I fear SAS will ultimately fail. As the previous poster has shown the airline is struggling with the Danish pilots union this time but it has also struggled in good times with the competing demands of the various Nationalities involved Union and Government interests.
SAS have a good number of crew who remember the "Good old Days" of C class taking up 21 rows on an evening flight to Oslo from Heathrow. Those days are gone and sadly with it attitudes have to change to give any legacy carrier without a major International network a chance of surviving.
I agree with the complaint that SAS should have conducted initial talks in private but time to wake up and smell the coffee. SAS have 138 aircraft with 10 different makes/models not ideal. Norwegian air shuttle have 67 and 259 on order and moving into long haul.
