In general I would 100% endorse lookers comments.

Norwegian's in flight mag quotes the CE0 as 14 new 738 plus 3 787 for delivery in 2013 with at least half the 738 being delivered before the end of March, current fleet is 69 737 including around 10 733's which maybe staying a little longer.

The people are great and very helpful but your not wet nursed, they treat you like adults and ask only that you act so.

If your rated (CL or NG) then expect around 12 days ground school plus another 3 if doing the extended Winter ops course, 1 day SOP procedure's in mock up followed 3 days of sim plus a further day for PC check and another two days sim if doing the winter ops course.

After that its 4 sectors (min) jump seat followed by 40 sectors (min) line training plus additional jump seat and training for winter ops pilots

All HOTAC including breakfast and weekends is paid for by Norwegian during ground school plus a diem payment, after ground school complete your on basic salary when line training starts your additional allowance and block hour payments kick in.

They have taken around 25 ex bmi pilots and the rest seem mainly northern european pilots with a few Spanish thrown in.

So excellent training, nice people, good package, very interesting flying!! and new 738's and they've gone for the Ghia version, full EFB, Wifi, sky interior,pax drop down IFE and short field performance kit.
