This thread is not about bashing Norwegian as a airline or its pilots. It is about the Norwegian business scheme that promotes further deterioration of this profession.
Based on your language, you seem to be of a younger generation then I. Aviation has changed a lot since the 80's and 90's. Back then airlines spent almost unlimited amount of money on crew training. These days, it's cut down to minimum. All this in the name of cutting cost. Just study what happend recently between ECA and EASA on our FTL. Low cost airlines stakeholders are running the show. The price tag, not safety.
In the USA the regional carriers and low cost carriers are loosing a great number of pilots to the majors. Airlines have to close down service to some towns, due to lack of pilots. Jetblue CEO came out and said they now have to raise pilot salaries to keep pilots. In Scandiland SAS has recently picked up pilots from both Norwegian and Ryanair. Things are changing.
Yesterday, pilots from Delta, United, American, Southwest, KLM, LH, SAS ++ and European Cockpit Association had press conferences in Oslo. This is just the beginning of this cooperation. It's time to stop this virus, before it destroys this profession.
