“..they will be able to attract enough crew on the current terms….”

But there remains the issue of Norwegian’s treatment of its workforce:-

“Management are snooping around on forums and chat apps at the moment and as we're only contractors, I don't think anyone is putting too much information out…..”

Nothing shatters the tranquility of a group, creates a fear culture and discourages others from joining, more than a witch-hunt by those having total control over others. It is a matter of record that Norwegian’s have excelled at witch-hunting.

Previously, selected individuals were hauled before an inquisition, suspended, and terminated without representation. Divided, disorganized and powerless colleagues could only witness the shameful treatment (much like today).

A post on another thread is applicable to Norwegian’s unsavory labor practices:-

I know of a number of politicians who are completely uninterested in their constituent's situation within the industry. Taking action and forcing change is a big challenge, but they were not even entertaining sympathy for the pilots in question”

However, US politicians are very interested and have met the challenge by taking positive action against Norwegian’s unprincipled labor schemes:-

Today, E24 Norway News reports that after two years of opposition to their circumvention labor schemes, Norwegian is still waiting approval from the DoT for a US permit:-
