Calling him "slimey" isn't going to help anyone. He's a shrewd entrepreneur, creative, and yes, he tries to find some loopholes on intercontinental flights to exploit to his advantage... Yet I don't think he's totally unreasonable about everything, or "slimey". Norway-based staff have ok contracts as far as I know, also compared with SAS, the flag carrier. By far not the worst loco actually.

And of course his next move is to lobby the new conservative government of Norway to allow what the previous labour govt denied him...(circumventing norwegian labour law). So unions will have a job to do there. He's tough, I don't think he's retreating yet.
