Seems the strike is postponed a few hours more according to SAS (until 11:01 CET today)

It is sadly the Norwegian model where they can only do these short term extensions of the negotiations. Under Swedish and Danish rules they could have added up to 14 days in the first extension.....

Title of the article says that pilots won't strike, but it is clearly a developing story...

Nothing new from SK yet, despite being past another deadline. Or as it could be for SK death-line....

Other sources also report Monday noon as new deadline. Even if they reached an agreement, the unions have to go back home (SK flights?) to Denmark and Norway to get a sign off.... And hammering out the contract needs some time. So Monday would make sense....

Speaking of lack of media.

SAS informed neither the pilotes nor the media ahead of time?
SAS set up its Ireland-based subsidiary in early 2017 and expected it to be operational by 1 November 2017. … The Swedish Pilots Union expressed its dissatisfaction with the operational structure of the new airline, suggesting it violates the current labour-agreements. The union also lamented the lack of coverage in Scandinavian media.

And while the media did probably write about, they did not take the pilot union preferred opinion, that it would be the end of civilisation as we know it.....

It seems to me like the Norwegian pilots’ critical stance toward SAS’s shell-games may have more widespread support among Norwegians than some may realize or appreciate to be the case.
Whether sentiment about the pilots in Denmark is more like Norway in this regard, or if Denmark is more like Sweden in this regard, who knows.

In either case it appears a compromise is going to be announced. The devil is in the details but if the pilots are saying that the company is changing its stance then I think some of what the pilots wanted will be achieved. I just wonder what the company got in return. We'll see.
