The vacation system is like TangoAlphaD said a point based system, taking into account previously assigned (or not) vacations, seniority etc...

Norwegian is certainly not a barren desert nor is the best airline ever on the planet. Of course you will find airlines with better rosters or money but I challenge you to find an airline which offers this kind of career outlook on a wide body as Norwegian does. If you want stability and legacy airline rosters then by all means join a legacy airline or an established carrier like virgin but then don't moan when your 50 and still in the right seat with your upgrade nowhere near in sight.

You win some, you lose some.

That being said, I have averaged 12.5 full days at home each month (not necessarily OFF days) in the last 6 months and I commute (almost never on the same day as the outbound flight). Whether you consider that horrible or good is up to you. I'm certainly happy with my choice and very much enjoy the flying and the working environment.
