I think AY management would rather demolish their saunas, give up alcohol and start speaking Swedish before they will even dare to think about doing anything with Russians. In public.
Swedish is already a formal language in Finland.
Most road sings are bilingual, for example.
Anyway, it would make SAS an even more interesting airline than it is nowadays. Today i see SAS a bit as a chef with 2 hands an 6 heads (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Management, Shareholders and Unions all being one head), which is asked to make a three course dinner (one for each hub), where the heads first should have to agree on what the hands do (which they hardly do). The result is a hardly edible dish. Making it a 7 headed chef asked to make a 4 course dinner would make life more interesting, though.
Again, it may work, but it requires strong leadership: one of the heads must clearly take or be granted the lead.
