Dear ATC Watcher.
If what you meant was simply that your friend went back and did re-training (Number 3 above), I apologize. Your quote "So looks like money is still there to do this and the plans seems to be to restart soon.", made me (and others) believe you implied the company (Norwegian) paid for your friends training. However, if we can agree to the fact that your friend paid for his own training, and that Norwegian has not recalled CDG pilots and paid for their training - let's call it a misunderstanding - and I apologize for my part.
Respectfully.
