Does anyone know if they actually have made an order for more 787s, or not?
Ahead of the last press conference there were rumours about an order of additional 8 airframes, but that was never confirmed by the company.

Norwegian TV did a survey on ticket prices OSL-JFK, comparing SK, UA and NAX. SAS came out cheapest 7 out of 10 times, Norwegian only 1. This is after you've added food and baggage allowance to the ticket with Norwegian.
It might take the public a bit to cotton on to the fact there is only 1 ticket on each of the Norwegian flights available at the price they advertise, and that it quickly becomes more expensive than flying a legacy carrier. One can only hope, though, that it won't be too long.

SMT Member, did the survey tell how full the specific departure was for each of the airlines? As I understand NLH flights are very full, and that the last remaining seats sell more expensive.
On the other hand, it can also be noted that the survey you refer to is very good news for NLH. If NLH have a loadfactor close to 100 per cent and are more expensive than the competitors on 9 out of 10 tickets, they must do something right. Good business for them!

The 2nd delivered "plastic fantastic" EI-LNB has been sent back Stateside to be completed to the standard NAS expects after going Tech every other day since delivery.. It is being replaced for 2 weeks by a Hifly Airbus. . . . Boeing have really dropped the ball with this one. I guess they are picking up the tab for the leases etc, but difficult to put a price on public perception of the reliability of your operation + there are quite a few planeloads of severely delayed/p1ssed off pax who will think twice about booking a flight on a NAS "Dream
Liner" again in a hurry.

Very disappointing performance by Boeing. Let's hope Boeing can finally get its act together on the Dreamliner. The pervasive Internet news and social media can really bite you in the a$$.... Quality control needs to become a higher priority these days.

NLH keep adding new routes, yesterday made routes out of LGW public. Do they find enough pilots? Do you all think the conditions will change over time?
Did all new pilots move to BKK? Must be a difficult operation next year when they have about 15 or so routes from Europe to the US, and only two to BKK. Half the plane will be with positioning crew?
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to start.

How will they be crewing the LGW based aircraft? Will base on contract be BKK but rostered operational base be London? These long haul routes are going to need a lot of crew even just for one airframe.
Because he wasn't writing to you.
When somene writes, " hey, Cuccuto" they are writing to Cuccuto. Just because yours was the last post doesn't mean they are writing to you.

Hi all
The online magazine check-in.dk has come across a copy of the employment contract for NLH pilots, and has written a couple of articles about the content the past couple of days (in Danish).
Who knows, maybe there will be changes if the mainstream media begins to report about it as well..
The problem remains that you (as pilot) have no social benefits anywhere - in Singapore, Bangkok or Europe (if you live there). Income tax you pay where you live, but that doesn't give you social benefits.
I hope and think it will resolve itself within a few years.
Sådan er Norwegian?s langrute-piloter ansat
Kun barsel til Norwegian-piloter med Singapore-børn

Ho guys,
anyone with any news on what going on here?
Are they hiring, interviewing?
I got the feeling the company doesn't have really clear how to manage the future expansion.....
Can someone (via pm if you wish) tell me what about actual rosters, chance of commuting and command?
Cheers!

Seems like a lot of things happening in the company at the same time.
Concerning crews, it is mainly the rumour about European bases as from next year (yes, they figured out that not everyone can be based in BKK when most flights will be from Scandinavia/LGW to the west).
Also read in media that they are in talk with Boeing about a few more 789, but -9 this time. If they can find the slots they should be coming in from 2015.
Company hiring a lot of pilots at the moment to fill the four aircraft coming first five months 2014.
