All pilots employed at SAS, SAS Connect*, and SAS Link, are now integrated in to the SAS seniority list and covered under the new SPG agreement. Pilots across all platforms will now be able to bid all available positions within all three companies based on systemwide seniority. The remaining unemployed SAS pilots will now be offered available positions within either of the three companies, and be covered under the one union agreement. More details expected within a few days as the agreement is not official until voted on by the four unions which make up the SAS Pilot Group.
*(SAS Connect is formerly SAS Ireland. Crews based in LHR are employed by CAE on a contract basis. SAS Connect crews based in CPH and ARN are employed by the SAS group and are now brought fully in to the SAS pilot group. LHR crews will not be covered under the agreement, and cannot bid across all SAS group flying.)
