Hans Jørgen Elnæs, aircraft analyst at WinAir, believes that both the pilots and the SAS management have had to give way to some of their demands in the intense negotiations.
– From my point of view right now, I think we can say that there are two winners here, he says.
Give and take
He believes that both parties have had to give and take during the negotiations.
In the negotiations with the pilots, SAS has, according to the unions, demanded a ten-year collective agreement without the right to strike.
– I think the agreement must have a component that runs for the duration of the agreement, where the pilots can not strike. I think it is between five and six years old.

He points out that although it may seem that the pilots have had a significant impact, they have also had to give way to something if his theory is correct.
– They can not strike for the next five or six years and that they must contribute a significant part of this SAS forward plan per year, he says.
However, he believes that with the streamlining within SAS, it will require additional working hours from the pilots.
– The SAS pilots will most likely have to fly more flight hours a year than they do today.
Full confusion
On Monday night, several major media reported that the pilots and the SAS management had reached an agreement after two weeks of mediation.
This was confirmed, among other things, by SAS’s chairman, Karsten Dilling, to Dagens Industri.
Following this, SAS issued a stock exchange announcement confirming that the parties had not yet signed an agreement.
– The mediation between SAS and the pilot associations has continued throughout the day. Although the mediation has gone in the right direction, no agreement has yet been signed between the parties, SAS writes the press releases.
On Monday night, however, TV 2 will receive confirmation from several parties that there is agreement between the parties.
Amateur
The counter-messages have made many very confused about how the parties are now.
– It seems that there is something in the communication of this news that creates these misunderstandings now.
– Is it allowed to say it seems incredibly amateurish?
– I have to agree with that. This was unexpected to come now, when everyone expected to have a clear and orderly information from both parties here about what has happened.
