SAS makes very deep cuts.
Today SAS announced the firing of all CPH based pilots hired since February 2001. This is a firing, not a furlough (that doesn't really exist in Denmark), so it does not officially come with any recall rights for those pilots. Due to Danish law, most of those pilots will be paid their full salaries for another six months, but the job terminations are official as of today.

I was corrected this morning. The SAS pilots with more than five years of service are getting ten months of full pay from July 1, despite the firing. The six months is the law, the ten months is the union contract.

They also don't lose their health insurance just because they lost their job.
