The Crew who lost their job was not employed by the airline, that is the disgrace in this business model, and what NAS Norwegian pilots was fighting so hard for in their strike few years back.
This makes it easy for the company to cut all ties with the pilots, and they can save millions by screwing their crews.
Any pilot with self respect will call it for what it is, it does not mean I am blaming the crews working for these "shxt" agency companies, they have my greatest sympathy, some here speak about the great TC's provided, and I fully understand this, but what good is it if you can be cut loose this way, it's a rotten system, and I have little sympathy for the way the company has been operated and how they have let down the people working for them.
