I think the reference to "playing by the rules" refrers to the fact Ryan has always made money, it started small and built a very successful business built on income and profit, it has never racked up multi million pound loses year in year out with the sole aim of undercutting and bankrupting its competitors! I am no fan fan of Ryan Air and they defiantly don't play by anyone's rules when it comes to employee rights but it does not survive on a "magic money mountain"!
These two know how to play the game and may have pushed Terms downwards to cut costs. But at least they play by the rules./QUOTE]

OK Ryanairpilot. Glad you find me such a joke. Enzo is right. I was particularly referring to laws relating to funding and subsidising of airlines. I am acutely aware that the other two will do what they can to gain cost advantage. Any cash mountain held by Ryanair has been gained through trading. Norwegians certainly has not.

THE EASY RIDE IS OVER ----
NOT ANY MORE ANY !
Financing / Loan guarantees to Norwegian, to "Buy" Boeings, with Boeing "in the middle" to "Sell",
BUT TO BE Bankrolled by US Taxpayers , Ex-Im Bank USA. and, Guaranteed by the US Government !
In the past, the U.S. Export-Import Bank has supported more than one billion dollars in financing for Norwegian's short-haul and long-haul aircraft. All of Norwegan's B-787s have received U.S. government financing support. In addition to the direct financing cost savings, Ex-Im Bank support allows foreign airlines like Norwegian to purchase new aircraft that are more fuel efficient and attractive to customers, compounding the economic advantage they receive from the U.S. government financing -
In January 2012, Norwegian placed what was then the largest civil aviation order in
European history, including 122 Boeing 737 aircraft (at the time Boeing’s largest ever European deal).
When asked whether Norwegian would have trouble financing this immense purchase,
---- Norwegian’s CEO answered:
“The order is financed through Exim (Export-Import Bank of the United States) and through state guaranteed loans, so I’m NOT worried about that at all.”
In the case of Norwegian, the airline is seeking additional Ex-Im Bank financing while at the same time pursuing efforts to serve the United States via an Irish subsidiary called Norwegian Air International (NAI), which is based on a business model that seeks to avoid tax and employment laws and circumvent international agreements to gain an unfair competitive edge against U.S. airlines and their workers in the global marketplace. -
"The Ex-Im Bank must conduct the economic review Congress requires and ensure that U.S. industry and jobs aren't compromised by its response to financing requests such as this application from Norwegian Air,"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaken / Bust the Unions in your Home Base of Norway, by all means available, and, hire Cheap / Underpaid Non-union employees elsewhere, anywhere.
And, Overwork them, After, they pay Upfront 30 or 40 K for their training cost bond.
OSM itself was established as a spin off OSM maritime, an agency supplying crews to shipping companies.
OSM statement: “International Aviation will go the same way as shipping".
And, not by coincidence, Norwegian's CEO was a maritime lawyer, for twenty years.

How about you go to Norwegians website and download the annual report 2015. Read it. Then read it again. Google the terms you dont know. Then read it again. That should answer your questions...

Norwegian faces MANY challenges,
Overcapacity - Overexpansion / Increased Volatility / Rising Debt / Rising Financing Interest Rates / Rising Intense Competition / Escalating Fare Wars / Rising Fuel Prices / Underpaid - Overworked Labor Force.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a few remarks of today :
".....Andrew Lobbenberg, who follows Norwegian for HSBC in London, said he was concerned about the carrier’s substantial number of future aircraft deliveries, which he said placed “considerable burden on its balance sheet.”
“.....There is the risk of overexpansion and fuel prices skyrocketing,” said Henry Harteveldt, travel analyst at Atmosphere Research. Budget airlines appeal to very price-sensitive travelers, he noted, “and if something bad happens to the economy, these travelers will be most affected by the downturn.”
" ...Discount carriers like WOW Air, Condor, Thomas Cook Airlines U.K. and Eurowings (a subsidiary of Lufthansa) have been able to muscle their way into the trans-Atlantic market because of a decade-old revision of the “open skies” pact, which eased various restrictions on routes and fares.
...Naturally, the behemoth legacy carriers are not sitting idly by as the upstarts gnaw away at their market share.
This year British Airways will begin flying between Gatwick Airport and Fort Lauderdale and Oakland, routes served by Norwegian.
BA’s parent company, the International Airlines Group, plans to start a long-haul, low-cost operation out of Barcelona this summer, also to compete with Norwegian.
And Air France KLM recently said it would begin a long-haul operation that would be “simple” and “innovative.”
In the United States, JetBlue is considering entering the European market. Philip Stewart, a spokesman, said that the airline had the option to take delivery of Airbus A321LR aircraft and that the plane “could potentially fly to Europe from the East Coast.” He said Europe suffered from a lack of competition and high fares, “and that is certainly an environment that JetBlue competes well in.”
American carriers that already fly to Europe are focusing on new in-flight products to challenge airlines like Norwegian, which offers a “premium” in-flight service with more legroom, meals and airport lounge access, along with three different economy fares. Condor also offers flights with three classes of service.
The president of Delta, Glen Hauenstein, said last week that by next year the carrier would fully roll out its “basic economy” fare — for which seats are assigned at check-in and the ability to make changes or cancel is prohibited — on international flights.
In addition, starting this year Delta will begin offering a higher-priced “premium select” service on Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 aircraft, with improved seat pitch and upgraded meals, among other amenities.
For its part, American recently began offering a “premium economy” service on 787-9 Dreamliner flights from Dallas to Madrid and Paris, and will eventually introduce it on all international wide-body aircraft."

[quote=Parkbremse;9644156]Don't remember asking a question! But I am sure their 2015 figures are simply spectacular.

Quoting an absolute debt figure without context, without a balance sheet and without looking at asset structure is just showing off lack basic of business knowledge
Here is again a report by SEB Bank of NAS i posted earlier which is publicly available:
https://webapp.sebgroup.com/mbs/research.nsf/alldocsbyunid/CD0FD8856587EB75C1257F56004F564C/$FILE/NAScredit110216aqw.pdf
They give an explanation for their solid B credit rating with stating strength and risks of the corporate structure. If you google a little further, you will notice that in an aviation context, a solid B is about average and considering that they are aggressively expanding gives a hint that financial institutions are actually seeing that this company is build on solid grounds while also acknowledging the risks that go along with such an expansion.
Another good source is the official annual report 2015, which as well publicly available. That will give you more information on the asset and liability structure and also an overview of some key financial figures from the last 10 years.
People here get always annoyed when they read an article or report in the media which shows no understanding of aviation at all or quoting out of context figures, like when there has been a crash or when a there is a labour related conflict between pilots and management (and the public opinion is swayed against pilots by just quoting wrong figures) but have on the other hand no problem at all, and have taken it with Norwegian to the extreme, to do the exact same thing, jumping to conclusions from hearsay (contents and structure of contracts) or out of context figures without having background knowledge ( do you know without asking google what tangible assets are, do you know how to properly read a balance sheet, do you know about the reporting standards of a large corporation) and showing a confirmation bias that would make an awesome case study in every CRM class.
Its all about emotions not about facts here anymore. Post factum world par excellance.

In other news BA staff are/have walked out, easyJet pilots threatened strike action, Virgin pilots work to rule and on it goes, pilots threatening strike action seldom happens, at least outside Norway.
Unfortunately for some they will only be happy if Norwegian goes bust or has a crash, for the real anti Norwegian trolls, preferably both, this illustrates more about them than it does about Norwegian
Bondi has been at it for years and thus far has be wrong about 99% of his assertions.
No one pretends life in Norwegian is perfect but it's what it is, if people don't like it they are free to leave, all join voluntarily, not drafted.
All of Norwegians pilots pay tax and social insurance in their country of work, deducted by the employer mainly OSM
UK pilots have a union agreement with OSM, Bondi will tell you it's worthless, but it has managed to gain a 3 year pay deal, private health cover, pension and changes/improvement to the hotels used.
I have worked for a few airlines in my time and Norwegian meets my needs, I work more than I did in some ( now bust) but on the flip side I earn way more than I did in any of the previous ones that had a more conventional employment set up.
I don't pretend to be an accountant or understand debt ratios, but I do understand that you need scale in this business to be profitable, you also need full aircraft, Norwegian have both, this is an airline that will have 21 B 787 dream liners by year end plus over a 100 B738.
Ryanair is pulling away from easyJet and Norwegian is closing the gap on easyJet
Just need to avoid crashes and going bust ��

Certainly not doubting you but this is in contrast to what was said at a recent open day (yesterday).
The heads of recruitment were asked directly about pensions and health care and the answer was definite no. Apparently a pension scheme was being "looked at". There was also no mention of any pay deal.
The open day was specifically for 737 although the terms for the 787 were also gone over.
Perhaps the deal you refer to isn't applicable to new joiners?

99% of the rhetoric by Inkjet and his kind is heavily influenced by Kjos Kool-Aid. The fact that Norwegian’s Spanish crews are rejecting the airline “unemployment” scheme and recently announced they are prepared to strike, speaks volumes.
Here’s what the Norwegian Pilot Group posted on facebook regarding your prospective employer, Orient Ship Management, OSM:
“In our opinion, OSM Aviation has already inflicted damage upon the reputation and finances of our company and Norwegian would be improved by disassociation with a company who's agenda seems to be focused elsewhere”

What i state is 100% correct for LGW based crews and that includes new joiners
Bondi, why don't you tell everyone why Norwegian is your obsession, it would amuse and enlighten

So just to clarify if I were to join Norwegian today on the 787 based in LGW I would be employed by Norwegian on annual salary in pounds with all my tax deducted through PAYE, with a pension, Health insurance and LOL insurance and I would not have to pay 30k up front for the type rating. Just want to make sure because this is far from what I was led to believe.

INKJET. I am dying to know more about the pension, health insurance and licence insurance. None of this was mentioned to me a few months ago when I was fleetingly interested. And is all this with Norwegian or OSM and if the latter how the hell does that work for the pension ?

So just to clarify if I were to join Norwegian today on the 787 based in LGW I would be employed by Norwegian on annual salary in pounds with all my tax deducted through PAYE, with a pension, Health insurance and LOL insurance and I would not have to pay 30k up front for the type rating. Just want to make sure because this is far from what I was led to believe.
Norwegian SH operate using OSM and have the benefits INKJET mentions, whereas NLH use Rishworth and don't have the pension, LOL etc.
Is that correct?
