The sad irony is that in the UK, a supermarket trolley collector has more employment rights than Norwegian’s 787 pilots have with the airline. Via convoluted direct employment circumvention, Norwegian’s pilots on all fleets, have no employment relationship with the airline – their real employer.
Rishworth states on its website they are “the provider” for Norwegian’s 787 pilots and that “Pilots will be employed by Global Crew”.
Global Crew is listed by UK Companies House as an “employment placement agency” with registered offices in rural England – Link:

Interested parties and potential applicants should examine the company Filing History, in particular the accounts filed on 19 December, 2017, page 11, item 7:
“The company does not have a bank account, therefore, all income and expenditure is collected or incurred by other group companies”.
Convolution and circumvention of undefined proportions surrounds this particular atypical labour model.
There is no reference to any Norwegian 787 FLL or other US base on the Rishworth website.
Despite the facts, it is unlikely Norwegian’s sycophants will offer anything other than their usual playground personal attack.
