Swedish media reporting today that IAG is preparing a new offer for Norwegian. Originally reported by the Spanish newspaper "Expansion" with no source reference. The rumour states 330 NOK per share.
Any actual proof of this? |

May 2017 fuel $500 per mt, today $750. This challenges all of us not just NAS. |
Depends if you are hedged or not. NAS are not. |
What a scumbag ! Great thing is he is looking so much older,,,,,

Then again maybe pigs will fly and these guys and gals will pop back to the sandpit/asia [insert region as appropriate] in search of another low tax break gig.
I was member of 3(!!) different unions in my pilot career, all of them sucked and did not help us at all - till the bitter end. Now we managed to initiate a turn around(maybe) in RYR management minds and still I need to read such BS from a guy that most likely just had the LUCK to end up on a better deal. All seasoned guys in this business know how it runs - best to be at the right time at the right place and your career is made. Others are not that lucky and have to earn their wings the hard (RYR) way. Nothing dishonest about, just a very hard school, nothing else. We will see over the coming months how and IF that CLA(at least in Italy) is "falling" into place, most of us here wait to see if that happens or not. Simple as that. Would be rather stupid to force your way out(as many do) to end up in a very similar "gig"(Norwegian for instance but not exclusive). RYR is not bad for guys who managed to get what they wanted - e.g. right base and/or right contract(direct for me is the only option). If on contract and far from home I would change as well(or better, I would have never joined). Enough with that RYR bashing, have seen enough other jobs in my life that threat you worse(QR was one of them) and the better ones went upside down a long time ago. Few dinos still around, but honestly, I do not fancy BA at all and I am to old to join LH(and honestly I would never ever pay money to prepare for their idiotic test(which brought a mass murderer into a cockpit, let's never forget this). Nothing else good around - Cathay on new contract not worth it and the rest remains mercenary work(Korean, their Chinese brothers, the ME,...). It's so easy to bash people about their choices. Fact is that RYR is far away from "dying on me" as so many others did during my long "career". Or do you suggest Airlines like Air France or Alitalia(lol) a safe place to be? Take a reality pill, be happy if you really(really really) ended up with a better deal(good for you) but stop distributing BS. Would be a good thing if MOL would finally pull(or get kicked) out, I am sure that would improve the company a LOT. |
CEO of norwegian B. Kjos hits back :
https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-no...-idUKKCN1IP1S8 Ryanair (RYA.I) last year approached Norwegian with a proposal to take a stake of around 20 percent in the Oslo-listed carrier, a source with close knowledge of the discussion separately told Reuters. “I can confirm that Ryanair has shown interest in Norwegian Air, and that I brought it up with the board,” said Norwegian Air’s Chief Executive Bjoern Kjos. A spokesman for Ryanair said the airline does not comment on rumor or speculation. |

I was in 2 legacy carriers myself during my career, both are no more(and both offered excellent terms and conditions, most likely that's why they are no more), I tried the sandpit(because there was nothing else decent around at that time), tried biz jets for a while till I figured out that that is another snakepit, returned to good old airline flying and ended up in RYR.

Guten Morgen
Wie Gets Ihnen?
Lufthansa is in talks with Norwegian and looking into making a bid! Stocks up by 10% Things are hotting up in the European market! |
Lets say Lufthansa buys Norwegian!
A good match Me thinks. Lots of longhaul outside LHs present market ( UK , Spain and Scandinavia ) Scandinavia is a problem . What would the Competition Board think? Does anyone here have any idea how thy think and act? In domestic flights and intra Scandy NOR is at par with SAS, so LH-NOR would give the Star-Alliance 100 monopoly! So that is not going to fly! Europe 737NOR ops no problem and Long Haul , no problem as I see it. The other LOCOs in Europe has neglected the Scandy intra market, and now would be the chance to get a chunk of it for free! Oh dear, this is exciting , Indeed. |
apparently all the unions have been called for a meeting in oslo, something is coming...
|
The Norwegian Unions from the different bases I assume.
That would be from Norway Denmark Finland Sweden UK Ireland Spain Italy and USA. Interesting. |
Exactly, first time in company history meeting with unions from all the bases.

IAG by nearly 4% and LH by over 5%. Interesting. This happened just after IAG made a bid. Looks as if they are both trying to monster order books. |
All shares are down heavily today. Fear of a trade war is beginning to bite.

Matt 285
Do You know when this meeting is?
|
4th of July...
|
Wonder if it's just a rumor. Nobody seems to know anything in the unions.... But who knows....
