The carrier Norwegian many Danish customers at risk in a few weeks having to find another airline to travel with.

Norwegian hundreds of pilots threaten to stop work for 14 days after bargaining with management Monday collapsed .

The pilots' union has announced mass resignations of all its 620 members. If the parties do not agree within two weeks, strike a reality.

Communications in Norwegian, Anne- Sissel Skånvik , confirms to news agency NTB that negotiations have stalled, and that now must be mediation to try to reach an agreement .

The same thing happened last year.

- We always hope to agree, saying Skånevik and stresses that the company does not want to dramatize the situation .

The pilots fear that they will lose rights they have secured through a variety of reckoning if Norwegian management completes a major reorganization.

The pilots include afraid that Norwegian want to create separate companies in the countries it operates in - like the newly established Norwegian Air Norway and long distance carrier Norwegian Long Haul .

If this happens , the pilots' current agreements canceled and pilots must negotiate new agreements on working conditions in the different countries.

- The Company will crush the deal structure, we have previously negotiated , and which forms the basis for our rights , says Halvor Vatnar , leader of Norwegian Pilot Union.

In practice, what is a group of employees across the countries where Norwegian is active , be split and isolate Swedish , Danish and Norwegian pilots in single groups , says the union.
