Five questions and answers about SAS and stranded passengers with expert Jakob Pedersen

When can stranded passengers return to Denmark? What is happening in the negotiations between the pilots and SAS? Can any kind of time horizon be given for the current dispute? These and more were answered by aviation analyst and equity analysis director Jacob Pedersen at Sydbank for Danish Radio.

The two sides in the dispute (the striking pilots and SAS management) repeatedly broke off negotiations, claiming that the deadline for reaching an agreement with the pilots had been postponed. Ultimately, however, the situation escalated into a trial strike. The conflict between the pilots and SAS reached its peak last Monday when the pilots began a strike, temporarily halting formal negotiations.

But SAS announced in a press release on Monday that it wants to take the initiative to resume negotiations.

Question 1: What will happen to the negotiations?

Update: The Danish pilots' union confirmed on Tuesday morning that SAS and the pilots will return to the negotiating table on Wednesday.

Question 2: Is it possible to give a time horizon for the conflict?

Question 3: What are the chances for stranded travelers?

Question 4: When pilots ignore passengers stuck on their booked flights, what does that say about conflict?

Question 5: Will SAS survive this?
