“SAS-pilots’ anger: It serves us really”

“in the Middle of strejkstriden went employers out to the SAS-pilots on average earn as much as 94 000 dollars a month.”

“the Statement has sparked fury among the pilots – which claims that the figure is false.”

“– It is pure propaganda. I have been employed for more than 10 years and earn just over 50 000 sek, says one of the company’s pilots to Aftonbladet.”

“Flygstrejken that broke out in the night, affecting 170 000 travellers, while the SAS are bleeding millions of dollars every hour.”

“the Parties are far from each other and among SAS pilots grows the rage now.”

“the Reason is the majority of the statements from the arbetsgivarsidans’s head of negotiations Simon Granevärn to a SAS pilot on average earn 93 000 sek a month ”add-on” counts.”

“– It is a dishonest figure that is not true. It is pure nonsense. A starting salary as a pilot in SAS is located at just over 34 000 sek, says Wilhelm Tersmeden, chairman of the SAS section of the Swedish pilotförening.”

“He refers to a study of salary levels in 20 major airlines in Europe, where SAS is second-to-last. According to information provided to Aftonbladet are both lågkostnadsbolagen Ryanair and Norwegian better to what comes pilotlöner than the SAS in the current investigation.”

“One of the SAS-pilots that worked in the cockpit at the company for over ten years testify to the fury after arbetsgivarsidans move.”

“– It is pure propaganda, ” says the experienced pilot who does not want to go out with their name on the basis of the union urged members not to speak with the media.”

“currently, he has a monthly salary of just over sek 50 000 in a month.”

“– in Addition to the monthly salary, we have no add-ons. If I’m working on christmas eve or midsummer, so I get no extra. We have no helgtillägg and no OB, he says.”

“Work seven weekends in a row.”

“IN the SAS pilots’ payslips mentioned a flygtillägg but it is included in the monthly salary.”

“in Addition to the monthly salary allowed the pilots the allowances that the Swedish Tax agency ruled, to cover the costs of food.”

“– I work mostly in the five days when I am in the path of the loop and stop in Luleå, Malmö and so on, and when do I pay for my food myself. It also applies to the breakfast, which the company took away from our hotel, ” says the pilot.”

“But the conflict is not really the first place if pilotlönerna.”

“in Addition to the SAS transfer of the flights to a base in Ireland, it has mainly focused on pilots’ schedules.”

“In the current situation, the SAS pilots called a variable schedule where the company on his own volition put the schedule for the pilots. What the company has to stick to is to the pilots shall have twelve days off per month and among those days there shall be at least one free weekend.”

“– They choose what the days are. It becomes a problem because a lot of chartertrafiken on the weekends. In practice, we may need to work seven weekends in a row and it doesn’t work with family, ” says SAS-pilot as the newspaper Aftonbladet have spoken with.”

“”Extreme excel””

“Among the pilots in the SAS looks many against Norwegian and Ryanair, which have fixed schedules that rolls on regardless of the day.”

“– They work five days and is free four, and it rolls on. My understanding is that the majority of the pilots in SAS would like to have it so.”

“Fackledaren Wilhelm Tersmeden confirms the picture of the conflict over the scheduling.”

“– the Schedule is the absolutely most important question. The only thing you know is that there is a free weekend per month. Our requirements are that it shall combine to be the SAS-pilot and have a family. In it, we have not received any sympathy, ” says Wilhelm Tersmeden.”

“the negotiations between the parties broke down last night after pilotfacket said no to a bid that the mediators put forward, which the employer approved. According to Wilhelm Tersmeden, the parties have not had any contact since then. Both sides, however, say that they ”are at each other’s disposal”.”

“Aftonbladet have searched arbetsgivarsidans’s head of negotiations Simon Granevärn not have returned. To news agency TT he said earlier in the day:”

” We had hoped that the pilots taken on greater responsibility in this situation. But the pilots remain at its extreme excel about 13 per cent more despite the already high average salary of 93,000 dollars a month.”
