"Happy where I am and will not apply for SAS."
Thats exactly my point, many experienced guys now, probably already have a safer and better job then what SAS can offer.
That's why I don't see loads of experienced guys running to them, unless they offer fast track to command etc. Because what SAS offer now for new starters is not very good.
SAS policy is, last in, first out, and you never know what SAS will do, they have proven that more then once.
