US Congress Moves to Block Norwegian Longhaul from US Expansion
For all the EU jocks up there; it's not that nobody wants them (Norwegian) to fly the routes.. But they are cheating the system! Even though the flight crew are 'based' in BKK, they are mostly Northern EU pilots living in Northern Europe.. Not in BKK! They commute to OSL/ARN/CPH to start their work schedule. Pay package on those contracts are well below the average contract on NAS. no benefits no taxes.. So when legislation catches up with them, guess who holds the short end of the stick.. (Agreed, when accepting a scheme like this.. Know the consequences, just like RYR). Low cost tickets get to be low cost over our backs, we are paying for it! All of us.. sooner or later!!
