I note from the DOT Order To Show Cause, the UK government supports the NA UK permit application. I would expect that support to be totally impartial. However;

“...300,000 central government employees from 18 departments benefit from reduced fares on all Norwegian flights…”

Norwegian’s lack of pilots continues, with eight more cancelled flights last Thursday;

Rotete dag og kveld for Norwegian - Norwegian Air Shuttle - Næringsliv - E24

Unfortunately, on Sunday, Norwegian also suffered a third 787 in flight engine shutdown in as many months;

Incident: Norwegian B788 over Greenland on Jul 16th 2017, engine shut down in flight

With no immediate cure for malignant pilot shortages, a long-standing CFO abruptly leaving, reoccurring labor troubles, increasing costs, grave company debts, plunging stock price, more passengers choosing more frequency carriers with included extras – all means at least one old Norwegian bear is in the woods.
