Pilots ' requirement is completely up in the blue

To the pilots that all other professionals would like to have higher pay and better working conditions is not surprising. Nor that they make use of the resources available to the parties on the labour market, and including the ability to go out on strike.

Modern societies are sensitive to any restriction in mobility.

noting, however, that the pilots belong to the most strejkbenägna in the labour market, not least on the SAS. Also in 2016, laid a hundred down the work, and there were given notice of strike action also in 2015 and 2017.

that the pilots would be a particularly neglected group. On the contrary, it is a crucial link in a large chain have the power to set the key flows to major costs for others. The situation is not unlike Hamnarbetarförbudets seat in Gothenburg, fixed where it is on goods, while the flight most carrying people.

Modern societies are sensitive to any restriction in mobility. The production of both goods and services are now in long, interlocking chains, where components from different countries and continents joined together. It all depends on functioning transports.

Just the state-owned enterprise SAS is also a extra grateful counterparty, as the company can run with taxpayers ' money if the proceeds are not enough.

This has created considerable value for consumers in the western world by increasingly cheaper goods. The other side of the coin is that without transport also stops much of the production, the lack of any single vital component, therefore, significant second-round effects.

on the ground is the loss of value not rarely also personal. People who planned a holiday instead becomes stranded and the entire value of the trip – including the cost of leave and hotel reservation as well as expectations to be able to celebrate a anniversary or reunion with friends – likely to come to naught. The requirement on the functioning of the transport is also for this reason crucial for large values, not just purely economic.

Mobilitetens importance to the community and thus provides, inter alia, pilots a particularly favorable seat. Just state the company SAS is also a extra grateful counterparty, as the company can run with taxpayers ' money if the proceeds are not enough.

the Pilots of this company is thus in a great power, which morally speaking should imply great responsibility. Snarheten to strike speak to the contrary, a party trying to squeeze the most out of the situation. Löneökningskrav of 13 per cent from a group with all additions and mark-up earn, on average, about 93 000 dollars a month does not give evidence, nor of any significant contact with the ground, it is a requirement that hover in the blue. You have the closest to be the bank manager to think that it is a reasonable mark-up.

how you count. While entry-level salaries are clearly more modest levels, a little more than 30 000 sek a month, and requests from the pilots has moved to the work many weekends and not in advance know his work schedule.

Since the deregulation of the airline industry in the 1990s, the trips become much cheaper.

Since the deregulation of the airline industry in the 1990s, the trips become much cheaper, but it has its reflection in that the costs and margins had to be squeezed. The profession does not have the same benefits and status as at the time the state-owned companies were the sole players, and then far fewer could afford to fly. SAS economic difficulties, 2012 was an additional pressure on wages and working conditions.

In today's feverish state of the economy goes, however, also the airline industry as a good and a reason to wage demands is the SAS generated profits in recent years. This waiting likely more turbulent times to come, which further increases the desirability of negotiations, the lands in the more realistic wage increase.
