INKJET;
No mission, just replies regarding Norwegian’s labor scheme, operational irregularities, and response to personal attack chump posts.
As one of Norwegian’s apologists, even you will agree, the experienced pilots posting of their refusal by Norwegian may have one thing in common; they probably dared to ask for more details on the precarious terms and conditions. The clause enabling Norwegian to terminate pilot service contracts between airline and agency without notice, reason or recourse, may have caused early exits at the wonderland road shows. That particular clause, together with the Norwegian airline being the exclusive client, makes the “permanent employment” claim at best, disingenuous. Although some have had spectacular rises from F/O to LTC after just four years – perhaps assisted by office loitering. Incidentally, a LTC was giving a check onboard a Norwegian 787 when it departed illegally without the required number of crew (DY7006 JFK-ARN, reg: LNF). Consequently, a LTC title at Norwegian does not impress.
Apparently, Norwegian’s UK contingent is the only group content. As you know, there are regular media reports of labor disputes between Norwegian and its crews in Italy, Spain and the US. The Scandinavia group has an ongoing court case to obtain a legal ruling the Norwegian airline is the real employer. Why hasn’t BALPA pursued this option for you and your LGW chums?
As for Norwegian taking over the long haul low-cost world, lets wait later this month for the response from the DOT to the petition by the ‘Labor Parties’ against the egregious decision of the Obama administration in granting Norwegian a permit. New legislation is also pending. Any claim of creating airline employment for pilots in the US is more akin to creating airline unemployment via a service provider employer – check US road show attendance figures.
On the positive side, Norwegian does have newer aircraft than some airlines – unfortunately, they do sometimes break at the most inappropriate times -

To those Norwegian "employees" on this thread, please, I implore you, if you are tired or otherwise unfit, do not be enticed to fly by Norwegian’s offer of quadruple payments. Follow the advice of your pilot group, repeated below, and think of the safety of your passengers! –
