It will probably not surprise anyone that there is another side to this story.

This is one very bitter individual!!

During the establishment of Norwegian Long haul and well before the Dreamliner was delivered, Norwegian had one B738 on NLH AOC. To properly comply with AOC requirement all pilots had to complete a very simple CBT on the personel structure of NLH (it took 10 minutes to complete) this was so this single aircraft on the NLH AOC could be flown by crew on NAN/NAS AOC. I cannot recall any promises or benefits being offered, it was a paper work exercise to ensure compliance.

NLH have never operated long haul flights from Finland unless you count LPA/TFS

It would be inappropriate for me to comment on Capt Colman's comments, but these are not reflected by 99.9% of Captains working for or on behalf of Norwegian.

To my knowledge there has only been a couple of instances where a contract pilots contract has been terminated.

Square peg round hole best sums it up.
