The media are notoriously inept when reporting aviation technical matters. They are competent and accurate when reporting aviation personnel matters. As demonstrated by the E24 Norway, news headline today:

" 24 pilots who incurred $200,000 debt after receiving training from Norwegian, feel swindled because they have to settle for a part-time job, says Norwegian Pilots Union (NPU)"

It beggars belief that some chumps on this site still refuse to believe that Norwegian's exclusive use of agency pilots and cabin crew, is in part, to effect a circumvention of employment rights and employment principles. Perhaps simple logic might work:

If you accept that the Norwegian Pilot Union, PARAT, European Cockpit Association and Norwegian Airline Pilots Association, all represent the best interests of their member pilots and cabin crew, then simply contact any representative to confirm all I have written in regard to Norwegian and the Kjos circumvention regime.

I provided the contact details once again. Please report back with their response:
