Jump to postThis is an attack-angle that was well known 5-10 years ago from the fossil lobby. Nothing is pollution free but EVs are a giant step forward from fossil vehicles. While EVs are slightly more, as of now, pollutant in production, the difference is made up for within the first few thousand kilometers. ...

Also, the norwegian government, as one of SAS’ largest creditors, has said it could convert debt to stock, but only if collective agreements are respected and worker’s rights are fully respected. It is very hard to see the SAS leadership adhering to any of this. I’ve read through at least most of th...

Jump to postI agree with this as well. But Norwegian, Flyr, matbe BRA will jump in and grab whatever is profitable in Norway and Sweden. Denmark will be left to Ryanair and Easyjet I guess.

Jump to postNo they couldn’t. They don’t decide on when these negotiations happen. I sincerely think you mean «thank you, anko and the SAS board». The pilots don’t really have a choice here.

Jump to postIt’s interesting to compare to the contracts offered by other intra scandinavian carriers. Of the Norwegian ones, Widerøe’s, Flyr, Norwegian (and Norse for that matter) offer better contracts than SAS.

Jump to postNo I won’t spare you. It has indeed slipped into our countries for the last 20 years, and there is accordingly a pretty strong pushback these day.
