And also many Scandi FOs are on queue for joining SAS. I know of dozens who have actually joined this winter. On the other hand thousand and thousands of cadets are on hold to replace them but there will be a backlog when it comes to captain supply if nothing changes. Wich will prob ably translate into better T&C for the captains. But I doubt that
However, I don't think there will be any problems for them solving this, if they only loosen up on the basing policy a tad, I know many who will join them in the blink of an eye. Many ex AlItalia, spanish, Germans, ex propdrivers in the ME would return if they got a base close to their families.
