INKJET,
It does indeed matter when crew members have no employment relationship with the airline certificate holder, even more so when applicable to an entire airline division.
Unfortunately, many of you are still confused by a smoke and mirrors shell game and have an insatiable thirst for Kjos Kool-Aid.
Neither BALPA nor SEPLA has a collective agreement with a Norwegian airline and cannot represent you to a Norwegian airline. Norwegian may summarily return crew members to their agency employer without reason or recourse.
Norwegian’s Safety Management is described on page 14 of its 2015 Annual Report. A declaration appears on its website of compliance (allegedly) with ILO core conventions:

Reported facts of incidents suggest a fear culture environment, where staff are summarily terminated before Norwegian has even conducted a mandatory safety investigation - as required by its AOC [GM1 ORO.GEN.200 (a)(2)].
The events surrounding DY7006 (EI-LNF), JFK ARN, and the prior concerns of crew members regarding Go2Sky, exemplify a fear culture environment:

“Dare not say anything for fear of not getting renewed contract”

Norwegian is now soliciting applications to join the “Norwegian family”. Watch out for those dysfunctional relatives in Fornebu.
