Some of the same familiar tactics, but, far more egregious .
Weaken the Unions in your Home Base of Norway, by all means available, and, hire Cheap / Underpaid Non-union employees elsewhere, anywhere.

OSM itself was established as a spin off OSM maritime, an agency supplying crews to shipping companies.
OSM statement: “International Aviation will go the same way as shipping".
And, Norwegian's CEO was a maritime lawyer, for twenty years.
After more than 100 letters from members of Congress, F. L., was later Banned by Congress, from Ever running an Airline again.
Presently more than 100 members of Congress, again, are in pursuit, of B. K. "Norwegian" now.
