SAS does not intend to give cabin crew the same conditions as it gave pilots, according to the company's head of information in Norway, Knut-Morten Johansen. 

In an email to Norwegian NRK, Knut-Morten Johansen said that pilots have different working hours regulations than cabin crew, which means that the agreement cannot be copied.

”These are two different professions, and the regimes are subject to ICAO regulations,” said Knut-Morten Johasen. But cabin crew for SAS Norway have difficulty understanding the reasoning.

”"Overall, we cabin crew have the same working time rules as the pilots. The principles are the same. We have just as poor predictability when it comes to our working hours. We work on the same aircraft and have the same trips and the same need for better working conditions and predictability," said Anneli Nyberg, who leads the SAS Norway Cabin Crew Association, to NRK.

The different perceptions may have already created a conflict ahead of next year's salary negotiations between SAS and the cabin crew, reports NRK.

SAS pilots, who went on strike for seven days, managed to push through more predictability around working hours and more job security. They also got through wage increases of between 3-4 percent for the years 2019-2021.
