Norse Atlantic

Norse is now accepting online applications.

Any news/rumors on when they are likely to start the screenings? will they hire preferably former Norwegian guys?

You would like to think so - as should all other airlines that carried out fire and rehire schemes!

How are they intending to fulfill the requirements for a UK AOC? Not based here or financially headquartered? Oh and it’s not fire and rehire as that was obviously a completely different airline ….apparently.

Closing date for applications is 31/10

787/777 preferable but not essential. I’ve given it a go although I’m 737 TR. As most of the management are ex Norwegian, I guess there might be an understandable bias toward ex crew.

I find it strange that people will give them another chance.
Norwegian in disguise.

Well let the market/investors decide . In the meantime, those that are eligible, have an opportunity to gain employment in their chosen profession again; those that are not eligible, potentially face a little less competition for jobs.

Wonder how long it will take Norse to say ja eller nei? I’m assuming they will have been flooded with applications such is the market.

I heard that the Norse startup will now be kicked into 2023. It certainly doesn’t look like anything is on sale for Q1/Q2 2022.

With Bjorn Kjos behind, I won't expect anything decent

they’ve already had a few of their aircraft painted up in Shannon , I doubt they’ll sit on them for another year

I hope you are correct.

Does anyone think this latest low cost long haul start up will ever turn a profit? Any of the well established LoCo's could add a few wide bodies or even the A321LR to their AOC at minimal risk. There seems to be zero interest from any of them.

I think you're trying to piss on the parade of hundreds of people who are literally dependent on Norse starting up and becoming a success. Like most, I acknowledge its a well trodden and risky path but someone will pull it off one day.

I'm not trying to piss on anything. I've plenty of good mates looking for work. I heard it from a source last week. He is ex Norwegian and had been approached for a management role. I hope they pull it off too.

Yes, it makes completely sense that sensitive informations regarding a launch date are shared to future employees and then on pprune …

About as much sense as painting up aircraft and recruiting staff with no route announcements or ticket sales

Can an airline start selling tickets without having an AOC yet?

Plenty of “Virtual” airlines have done exactly that.

Any news? Sounds very quiet…… I guess a million applications to decide on.
