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.
Sure but how many months have been put into SAS Forward? Setting up that plan is part of a Chapter 11 strategy. Someone better work miracles if your start to finish Chapter 11 is done in less than 4 months.

Does SAS still directly employ ground staff and ground services staff? Those are usually outsourced through HR companies.
