SAS/Braathens
 

As SAS will now aquire Braathens before Dec. 31, 2001 - what are the feeling among SAS & Braathens flightcrew?
Are SAS flightcrew hostile towards Braathens?
Are Braathens hostile towards SAS?
Will this be a "peaceful" merger??

Comments, anyone??

Did you ever hear of a peaceful merger?

Time will tell... ;)

This could perhaps be a first.....
The future of European aviation lies (probably) in fairly massive mergers in the near future.

But I guess you are right - pilots sometimes have a hard time seeing beyond one's own nosetip :D

Sting-

I believe since they are aquiring Braathens as a separate entity and will keep it as that, it's not a merger but should be regarded as many of SAS' other aquired airlines like Air Botnia, Air Baltic etc, or why not as the equal of when Braathens bought Malmö Aviation. I.e. NO merger.
