There are currently a larger-than-usual number of open positions at SAS Group including heaps of strategic back-office positions (pricing, partnerships, revenue, accounts, digital, etc). This is perhaps unsurprising as the company is emerging from the Chapter 11 proceedings with newfound optimism and restructuring possibilities but I still would have imagined this to be delayed until the new ownership was finalised.
Anyway, if you are interested in a job at SAS, now may be a good time to have a look as they have job openings in basically every department. I have no affiliation with SAS and cannot comment on working there, I am but a soon-to-be graduate monitoring job openings in Scandinavian aviation.

This is a non-eurobonus kafe question: which cafe/bar at CPH is most useful as a coffee shop (a place where I can seat for an hour drinking coffee and reading some work stuff, in absence of a lounge)?

- The hippest coffee shop-like experience is Arket Cafe (inside Arket clothing shop) towards the A gates. The downside is that there are tons of people walking by and you are very exposed to them.
- For a generic coffee shop, the Lagkagehuset towards the C-gates opposite the SAS lounges is good though its location next to a notoriously noisy Joe&theJuice will leave you deaf if you don't wear ANC headphones.
- If you want to/can go to the non-Schengen area, the Joe&theJuice just after passport control on the left side has some good seating behind it with views of the ramp.
- I believe the Espresso House on the right after tax free towards A and B (left of Georg Jensen and behind the barista island) has a lot of seating and may be the best overall choice
- If you are most interested in peace and quiet, your best option is grabbing a to-go coffee from Joe&theJuice or Lagkagehuset and going to the former domestic terminal (gates A18 and up). If you go past the first handful of gates and take the stairs down, you will reach some rarely-used gates that are completely deserted on most days. This only makes sense if your gate is expected to be A or B (or you have a lot of time) because you will be 15-35 minutes walk away from everything else.

If you're Amex Gold or above, Espresso house at Kastrup is in the "Lounge on the go" concept so saying those magic words and swiping the cards get you coffee and something for free

Wow, no Amex here, but the suggestions are good. Especially the Espresso House next to Georg Jensen - I do not think I ever registered that there is a good space there. I really appreciate!

I have a flight to MIA late next month. Given arrival time in the evening (8pm or so), views on where to sit? Front or back of C-cabin? We're currently at the front for service however if gates tend to connect to door 2, I'd be minded to move. Thanks

Could probably deserve its own thread but AC is starting up YUL-ARN and YYZ-ARN on Dreamliners. 
The YYZ flight has surprisingly positive timing.

Exactly. The YUL flight is basically cater for people going on cruises in Scandinavia. I wouldn't say it's bad as more flights should press the prices down.

Tested some dates with the AC flights. Pricing is a bit irregular right now, maybe just been loaded. On some dates, Business and Premium Economy are significantly cheaper than Economy.
One downside (for me, the provincial Swede) is that AC don't (yet?) have any codeshare on SK's domestic flights, despite sensible arrival/departure times in ARN. Probably wouldn't mind risking a self-connect in ARN.

SK seems to sustain their ARN-YYZ route and its returning again in March so I guess there is some other traffic. I do love a YUL route though, even if it is just 6 months out of the year, we'll see if it is sustainable. I've always enjoyed AC crews and J cabin.

The HKG CPH on Cathay seemed to be basically Australian cruise passengers the times I flew it. And we all know the sustainability of that route. The cruise crowd is not high yield.

Sure, flying a OW route into CPH isn't going to capture a lot of traffic so you rely on the CX/QF/JL crowds which I doubt have much business in Denmark.
I wonder how SK/AC work out post *A exit and ST entry or if AC in part is opening the route to mitigate that.

I doubt a 3-4 month peak summer route is anything but carrying tour contracts.
