The easiest way to compete is to be more competitive and cost is but one element of that, Norwegian have grown in Europe rapidly, not by being another ryanair or easyJet, but rather by not being another ryanair or easyJet, they bring something new something fresh to the market place, if you don't know what it is then you haven't flown with them! If you have then you'll understand why they have won award after award from customer groups. Longhaul has got off to an iffy start due in no small part to the dream liner issues, but when it works as it should then the customer satisfaction has been excellent.
The Thai crew issue is a red herring, all these American unions people will be sat there with their Chinese's made iPad's and Korean chinos, with their Lexus cars parked at the airport drinking German beer and French wine, moaning about made in America, Norwegian meanwhile are spending billions on American aircraft and bring new customers to the USA spending $150 a day minimum with an average stay of 10 days
I thought the Luddites died out years ago, there will be no sympathy from Joe Public for people earning €130'000 year flying these ships.
A non story move on guys.........
