This is especially true because the reorganisation plan is already created (SAS Forward) and the parties already can't come to agreement on that plan as written.
So if SAS is successful, they will use the absence of an agreement with the pilots unions to say that the pilots must de facto accept the proposed employment framework as part of SAS Forward. At which time the pilots can choose to permanently walk away or not. Then when it is the flight attendants and ground workers time for contract renegotiations, SAS might use the same tactics if they haven't emerged from bankruptcy by then.
I think GUWonder is really onto the golden thread here, which is the other unions that SAS has to deal with and hopefully SAS has accounted accurately for their reaction. If those other unions weren't paying attention and wondering "what will this mean for me?" ... well they are now.
