There is no dubt that Norwegians boss Kjoss supports the race to the bottom. The low cost airlines arrived at a time when the legacy airlines was the most vulnerable. So did Norwegian, as it was "reborn" after the Braathens days. There was a stability between the airlines on both sides of the pond. That stability has been disturbed by Norwegian. Finding loopholes in the system. The purpose of the open skies agreement was a free but fair competition and assuring stable airline jobs. What we now get, if this continues, is lower salaries, more hours and furloughs among legacy airlines. Norwegian is welcome to compete, but on a level playing field.
