If memory serves me well no-one has joined Norwegian, to be directly employed from Day1 , since prior to the opening of the Helsinki base (Spring 2011 ? )
Since then , there have been a limited number of vacancies in "Core Norwegian" for FO positions in Scandinavia, these being filled by Contract pilots respecting date of joining & wish to transfer.
In the past you applied directly to Norwegian & were passed to one of the (at the time 4 ) agencies to be contracted, nowadays all applications are handled by OSM, who also provide the HR services for the non Scandinavian bit of the empire ( NAR ) in Spain/Finland/UK & long haul eventually.
You are therefore not really employed by Norwegian (even if they would have you believe NAR is "really" Norwegian ) as Direct Bondi has emphasised in his many posts on the subject, but rather by OSM in one form or another.
So far, the "Master Seniority List" has been more or less respected (apart for some "out of order" base changes at LGW where Bods were replaced/sent to Madrid, & replaced with less "senior" pilots, put in their slot merely because they were line trainers ) There was also an attempt by OSM (which BALPA rather bizarrely initially backed) to have a separate seniority list for the UK bases. This contravened the whole concept of company-wide seniority & BALPA were eventually able to see the folly of this recommendation, strange affair indeed
