The Danish Pilot Association also confirms to Ritzau that the negotiations will start on Wednesday. On Monday, the parties agreed to return to the negotiating table. Kjetil Håbjørg, says on Tuesday night that they hope to reach an agreement tomorrow. – This is not an ordinary wage negotiation for us. It is extremely important. We have ambitions to make it happen, but it is clear that there must be something we can invest in, says Håbjørg. He says SAS has noted that the national mediator has said that all parties must look at their positions. – We do that, and we expect all parties to do that, he says to news. The SAS pilots, for their part, are a little more hesitant before tomorrow – At least we are willing to come and talk to SAS, says Jan Levi Skogvang of the SAS Norway Pilots’ Association. He has a hope of overcoming it, but has no concrete expectations. – I only expect that SAS has something more to come with than what they did last Monday. Locked situation The pilots had a status meeting with the national mediator yesterday. Not to negotiate, but to clarify where they stand. The conclusion from national mediator Mats Ruland was that the situation was still as deadlocked as at the start of the strike. Tonight, he encourages the parties to meet each other. – I hope we will be able to come up with a solution. The parties must move on to their positions, that is what is needed to be able to reach an agreement, he says to news. Figures from Avinor show that at least 159 SAS flights have been canceled as a result of the strike on Tuesday, writes NTB. At least 30,000 passengers are affected daily. SAS’s CEO Anko van der Werff has today provided new input for the Ombudsman to get progress in the negotiations. Van der Werff left Näringslivets Hus in Stockholm around 4 pm after meeting representatives of the brokers.
