I would like to see the Baltics get together and establish an air force - as in one fighter squadron. Right now, NATO fighter squadrons take turns patrolling Baltic skies. But do the Baltics really want to depend upon Norwegian or Dutch pilots if things go bad?

I don’t know about Dutch and Norwegians but I heard Air Force in Switzerland is unionized.
They once had a situation required to scramble some jets but all the pilots refused because it was weekend and they also spend maximal hours per week as mandated by their labor laws.
