Could it be that SAS knows that they are loosing an ongoing battle and too proud to loose face (typical Scandinavian, I should know, I am one) by giving someone an extra treatment... After all the EBP holders are probably the travellers that keep SAS alive and its a shame that the employees don't recognise this. When they (ex SAS employees) are queuing up at the dole in 6-12 months time I hope they don't blame anyone else than themselves for not even trying to hold on to the elite SAS travellers...
