A majority of SAS pilots in Sweden, Denmark and Norway walked out on July 4 after negotiations over new collective agreements collapsed. The parties returned to the negotiating table in the Swedish capital on Wednesday.
On Friday it had cancelled 177 flights, amounting to 62% of those scheduled, according to flight-tracking platform FlightAware. SAS, which is trying to implement drastic cost cuts and attract new investors, filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection on July 5.Pilots employed by SAS Scandinavia, a subsidiary of SAS Group, have said they would agree to limited wage cuts and less favourable terms, but SAS has said that concessions offered so far are not enough for it to carry out a rescue plan announced in February.
Unions are also demanding that pilots who lost their jobs during the pandemic are rehired at SAS Scandinavia, rather than having to compete with external applicants for jobs on less attractive terms at recently created SAS Link and Ireland-based SAS Connect.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
