SAS doesn’t make reliably major fortunes doing what it’s been doing for years, that too even after governments in North America and Europe have massively assisted the TATL-flying industry by granting the US3 and EU3 carriers major waivers and favors — and this has indirectly benefited SAS too.
SAS repeating the same thing and expecting different results is not by itself a strategy for long-term survival and independence of the airline.

SAS seems to cater more to “Scandinavian mainstream” back of the flying bus passengers than to anything else. Where has that taken SAS? To its current state.
