"HEL pilots will not be allowed in the cockpit with permanent pilots?"
Allowed by who?
Permanent self-sponsored superheroes or Vestlandet-astronauts?
The pilot union or the guys who run/own the show?
Is the HEL based planned on purely contract pilots with no chance of integration into DY?
If thats the case, good luck with the planned ops.
A very expensive failure is in the cards for anyone dumb enough to think that the traveling public in the very limited market area Finland will jump on anything foreign because it seems cheap.
Check what happened with Sterling and their announced HEL base on the same routes as Norwegian is marketing today, never got around to start up as the domestic carriers reacted with fares and routes.
Finnish customers seem to think that finnish carriers/crew are the the best there is. As the pool of potential passengers from Finland is small enough with the amount of people wanting to visit even smaller, the business idea seems a bit shaky. Add to that the feast of the press explaining how Norwegian is trying to run a show with self-sponsored trainees on a 737 with paying passengers.
The market objective seems to be to enter the same routes as Blue1 is operating today, apparently trying to hit SAS. The problem is that finnish passengers usually are as nationalistic as norwegians. Also the limited amount of passengers/trips made is a problem as people tend to get the few miles they can on their freq. flyer programs.
If the market idea is to code-share with AY and feed their Asia-strategy Norwegian might find themselves f...ed if the crewingscenario you are describing takes place.
