Norwegian Long Haul - selection and terms

Hi

Am a heavy Boeing operator and noted a few months ago that Norwegian Long Haul through Rishworth were looking for experienced Boeing pilots. Sent in my papers and will shortly attend the screening.

Does anyone know what the two online tests are all about? Anyway to prepare?

Does anyone know what the sim-ride (seems like a standard PC and will be in a B737NG) and interview is like? Relaxed? What are the criteria they look for in general? People who failed, what did they do wrong?

Finally, what’s the latest with the deal of having a BKK-base? Will that just be on paper, and that you actually work out of – for example – Stockholm or Oslo? Permanent employment in the future, or is Norwegian Long Haul prepared to take the risk of having 300 – 400 pilots in the future on contracts and no one employed? For me that sounds suicidal. After the bond (3 years) probably quite a few pilots would go to other companies with better conditions (and have a valuable rating).

Thanks for all input regarding the above (for one that is even considering not to show up on the screening due to the contract at hand).
