And if I am not mistaken, the daughter of Bjørn Kjos also flies for Norwegian. Nepotism? Maybe, maybe not.......
SAS is owned by the taxpayers. And they pay if SAS is losing money. That's a big difference,compared to the private sector. Where would we be if the Prime Minister of Norway began to hire his family and friends to well paid jobs in the public sector? Nigeria? Could easily be. But not Scandinavia.....
Yes, but as you can see from Klaus email, it was clear, no TR, don't apply!
They (the new hired guys) didn't apply when SAS were looking for pilots with CRJ TR, but as 2000 other applicants they were on the list. SAS called these guys because someone inside SAS knew them.
