I would still like Marvelman and Direct Bondi to elaborate why they have such a personal issue with NAS. Ex employees?
I would like you to elaborate on the subject matter of my posts rather than invent failed excuses to divert attention from the facts. Your contributions have little to offer. While we wait for your next masterpiece, readers may consider additional concerns regarding Norwegian’s recent 737 safety event and affirmation of the fear culture working environment;

“It is of grave concern that we have noted Tomas Hesthammer, Norwegian’s flight operations manager, dismisses the incident as harmless and unnecessarily hyped up by the media”

“Despite Norwegian's assurances that the incident did not involve any risk for either passengers or crew, it is an indisputable fact that Norwegian's own skilled cabin crew on board reacted strongly to the incident and the Slovak pilots' handling of the situation. They therefore decided to refuse to fly further with the Go2Sky pilots after landing in Oslo”

“Rather than praise the cabin employees resolute action during the incident, Norwegian has publicly criticized one of the flight attendants for procedural violations”

Tomas Hesthammer was also in charge of flight operations at the time of the 787 incident in JFK. Four flight attendants were summarily dismissed even before Norwegian initiated a formal investigation. No action was taken against the Captain, despite flying the aircraft across the Atlantic illegally without the required number of crew. The Captain had previously written a letter to the DOT supporting the NAI permit application. Dagbladet news reported;

“Tomas Hesthammer claims in an email to Dagbladet that the "captain's decision to fly with five in the cabin, with 196 passengers, meets the basic requirement of a cabin crew member per 50 passengers” - apparently, Norwegian has a regulatory exemption to the requirement based on seats:

The airline “unemployment” labor model, fear culture, punishment and reward scheme, combined with incompetent management and rapid expansion, has the potential to create additional safety events in 2017.
