ALPA wanted the dues dollars of all the CO pilots. ALPA is a corporation. The pilots are the association. If any pilot truly doesn't think that working for Norwegian will hurt their future at a US3 they are mistaken. Pilots still reside on the hiring boards and the unions still have influence. So you will have to be the super star candidate if you are coming from Norwegian. Whereas there are a few that can sneak past the goalie the filter for Ex Norwegian candidates will be tight. Plus with the regional hiring programs and mil hires the regular off the street pilots numbers (which would include Norwegian pilots) will be very small numbers.
If anyone winds up at Norwegian I hope they never venture back here to complain and pay or work rules.
