Actually not all of us sat back and watched it happen, we were just ignored.
So, no, not all of us did this. But now you expect our help.
Nah you're right. Dunno what led me to think what I do. Nor can I be bothered to post anything more to you on the matter. Most of us are behind the strike and that is enough.

Norwegian, like Ryanair and to a lesser extent easyJet are a trans European airline and it makes perfect sense for them and for many employee's to pay their taxes and social contributions in the country where they are based as required by European law.
Although easyJet pilots are heavily unionized, the matter is that IA in any continental base are broken by the use of pilots on a UK contract. They cannot refuse to operate under UK law.
The pilots in easyJet have already been split up in to many different contracts per country in order to comply with the law so that social security is paid in the country where the pilot is based.
I'd say that easyJet is THE example of a trans European airline. Unlike Ryanair who continues to employ people on contracts in Ireland.

" OSM also manage the HR functions for NAR.ES which employs pilots after 24 months, OSM are an agency NAR.ES is an wholly owned subsidiary,"
What have you been drinking man ? ?
"manage" ? well, the tsunami has passed, and the mopping up continues
OSM would not like to be called an agency, they are a very respected employer of seamen . . . . . .
NAR ES , last time I checked, was an " inmobiliaria" I.E an Estate Agency. Still waiting to see who is the "accountable manager/chief pilot/HR Director" etc etc of this "wholly owned subsidiary" . . . . I do hope you haven't been drinking too much Koolade (nothing else up there affordable) working up in OSL on your days off, you are normally at least accurate when you try to offer praise. . . .

"OSM would not like to be called an agency, they are a very respected employer of seamen"...laughing out loud. Isn't OSM, behind the cypriot companies, the former SAS pilot who got fired after a flight from SFO to CPH after SAS figured out he was body-leasing pilots to Nor Shuttle.

@gpsavd; that looks like a great read, any way of viewing it in English or could you translate the headline and I shall search for it online.
The 2 airlines may merge. (FR and Norwegian).
my god, good luck in this industry guys.

Sorry, running late...
Here's a go with Google translate, but read with caution, it is a bit of a wacky translation.

A merger makes strategic sense but it is unlikely. Merging with Norwegian would give MOL access to 787s and options he covets for a longhaul operation that he could legally operate out of 20+ Euro bases to the States. More importantly, a merger would remove a growing competitor. Common Boeing fleet types would facilitate a merger - let BK keep the Airbus NEOs for his leasing company.
That said, I also agree with others that a merger is unlikely due to politics and a battle of wills/egos between MOL and BK...
