Good god. What a view. You have a company whose strategy is clearly to put others out of business so they can reap the rewards and that is OK ! How the hell do Norwegian afford all these shiny new jets ? They pay their pilots a fair amount of dosh even if it is through an agency so these pilots have no labour protection. They use the same airports so have the same landing costs. They use the same fuel efficient aircraft as BA and Virgin. So how do they undercut the pricing so much ? And why ? Answer is they make huge great losses and someone somewhere as bank rolling this. And the only reason for such a strategy is ultimate market domination.
Pilots on here defending Norwegian simply are supporting the devil from within. It beggars belief that ostensible intelligent people cannot see what the end game is and what that would mean for them. Norwegian have taken on eJ and Ryanair on short haul and are not winning. These two know how to play the game and may have pushed Terms downwards to cut costs. But at least they play by the rules. Now they are turning to long haul and if they succeed the price will be paid by Ba and Virgin and the stupid crews who have helped them do it.
Question...... where has Norwegian got all the money from to do this ????
