You should not forget that the very regulated relationship between emploers and employees, combined with good social security systems, is one of the main reasons for the high political and economical stability of the Nordic countries. Average income is high, differences in income are small, and the countries are politically stable.
If this were all so absolutely true, a whole lot of things would be different in at least Denmark and Sweden — including the fact that the striking SAS pilots tend to live in much better areas, have relatively more housing space per inhabitant, and are more likely to own a recent model Audi, Lexus, BMW, MB, Porsche or Tesla than the population at large.
SAS pilots, especially the Danish ones have been having it much better than they used to have it. And this strike and its results will only make the differences more stark than before between what the senior pilots make and the senior cleaning staff are making over a career of serving SAS at CPH.
