They want to hire you. Otherwise they have wasted their time, and time is money.
"The wrong attitude" has nothing to do with your flying skills. Itīs all about wether you will put up and shut up. BK has said as much at staff meetings. Having had any kind of leadership position with a union is definitely "the wrong attitude".
BK has publicly stated that there will be no permanently employed air crew in the future, only contracted.
The Tīs & Cīs you see now are it. They will not improve, on the contrary management will do everything they can to lower them with time.
There are several pilot groups, all on different terms, but not necessarily speaking. Divide and conquer. Work goes to the lowest bidder.
Seniority lists are for show only, do not expect an upgrade based on one.

BK does not make a secret of this. Anybody who follows the financial news in his neck of the woods can tell you as much. If you want to know what this job is going to be like, you are wasting your time reading pprune. You should be reading back copies of Dagens Næringsliv and Finansavisen.
Itīs all there, black on white, straight from the horseīs mouth.

And B.o., comparing the salary to the one at SAS (or any other legacy carrier) is ludicrous. For one your salary will increase significantly with time at SAS, and in addition you have all the regular benefits and then some.
