DN News reported the Kjos announcement in 2014. In 2014 Norwegian bought and paid 90K to former US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Transportation Affairs, John R. Byerly, to sell Norwegian’s labor scheme and influence the DOT in the NAI US permit application:-

Norwegian also bought and paid Mr. Byerly 60k in 2015 and has so far bought and paid Mr. Byerly 40K in 2016.
Not a surprise at all... Are you suggesting other legacy airlines don't use lobbyists in Washington to advocate for their positions? All Euro legacies (IAG, LH, AF/KLM) are scared to death of opening the door further to NLH. Who wouldn't be? The real winners: lobbyists for both sides who are ecstatic with their growing incomes....
