The "Big Bear" has somehow managed to have a major falling out with his staff annually for some time now, and the public remember that. The last one (involving the Cabin Crew) was very damaging to his reputation, as they tried to bully the CC into backing down by threatening to close all the crew bases in Norway except OSL and simultaneously withdraw I.D. travel . . . . this may be "The Norwegian-Airline Way", but the public certainly do not wish it to be seen as "The Norwegian -Nationality Way".

It was a massive own goal, and the greater majority of the "intelligent" public know the score here, even if TV companies/newspapers who appear to either be "in the pocket" or enjoy "a special relationship" with big business tell them otherwise.
I dunno, there seems to be an awful lot of "fire the complaining who strike Dear Provider of Cheap Tickets' company to bankruptcy, 'cause it's all their fault, innit" posts in the comments sections of newspapers these days. Hopefully those are just the unwashed masses, while those who can actually put two and two together are far too intelligent to blather about in comments sections.. Hopefully.
