No Fly Zone - re "let them flunk on their own"...their biggest issue right now on longhaul is delays...eg just recently a 787 was stranded for 40 hours waiting for spare parts (Boeing maintenance contract...they store parts anywhere but where they are needed, apparently). If this happens once in a while, no problem, pax forget, but scandinavian business travellers are already very aware of the fact that NAS has been struggling to get their dreamliners to arrive on time (and we're talking days here, not hours...). It doesnt help that they only have 6, or 7 aircraft, and that their business model requires the aircraft to be in the air virtually continuously, leaving little time for unplanned maintenance. If they manage to scare away all business travellers they will flunk...but yes I fully agree, they should be allowed to try. Yet I also think they should offer decent contracts.
