I never heard the yanks trying to block Norwegian buying 200 737's and 100 787's.

Notwithstanding the incorrect order number, the entire Boeing work force and their IAM union do not support Norwegian’s flag of convenience;

“The Machinists Union applauds yesterday’s decision by the DOT to deny Norwegian Air UK (NA UK) a foreign air carrier permit exemption”

https://www.goiam.org/news/territories/transportation/nais-sister-airline-norwegian-air-uk-denied-foreign-air-carrier-exemption/

“Norwegian Air International’s business model exploits the “flags of convenience” model used in the maritime industry. The “flags of convenience” model allows an airline, for example, based in Norway to create a subsidiary on paper only in another country to take advantage of lax labor, safety and tax regulations and circumvent such laws in its home country”

Has anyone seen an Ireland employment contract applicable to crew flying for “Ireland based” Norwegian Air International?
