"The unemployment package in Scandinavia is fantastic"
Sure... a captain at the top salary level in Sweden will get SEK 476 (209 dirhams) per day after tax in unemployment benefits.
But, that is irrelevant since these discussions between SAS and EK is not due to lay offs in SAS. It's about changing the demography. They are trying to get the older guys to leave in order to hire new and cheaper pilots on a "B-scale".
I doubt there will be many takers since the hard work, awful rostering, arrogant management and non guaranteed leave in EK is well known among the pilots in SAS. Most pilots in SAS are already today using all legal means they can find to work part time...
