I don't think any airline will advocate commuting prior to a FDP. If or not it's "possible" obviously depends on where your from / going to. Might be worth (to get a rough idea) looking at at the flight status on their site to see when the LH Departures and Arrivals come in

Upgrades
What are the requirements to upgrade for an FO and how long does it currently take on average from day of joining?
I know they have relief captains but do you have to become a RCA before CA or if you have the hours and requirements can you become a full captain from FO and skip RCA?

Hours
For all pilots really. Whether you join with 2000 hours total and 1000 jet or 5000 total and 2000 hours jet, no 787 time though.
How many 787 hours on type do you require for RCA and full CA?

FLL
No idea on how many pilots are there but I believe they are still hiring for FLL 787 base.
I spoke to a few pilots leaving the ME3 for Norwegian 787 job as apparently in the ME things are going from bad to worse.
Norwegian less money but people seem a lot happier.

Not that it has anything to do with the topic but I find it a bit interesting that no one has mentioned that Norwegian made a private placement 2 days ago to increase its equity (from very low level). We are around the peak of another economical cycle and I find it a bit alarming that they cannot keep afloat without asking the shareholders for more money. Something to consider for people out there thinking the grass is greener somewhere else.

Takes a huge amount of money to expand so aggressively, I agree with, but with a fleet of over 100 aircraft should they not be making money now, which would allow them to fund their own expansion?
I did read for last year or last quarter they made a loss of $10 per passengers flown.
Investors will want their money back at some point.... And why invest more if your not seeing any returns, you don't invest out of good will, you invest to make money.

Co-Pilot to Relief Captain
5,000 hours total time
2,000 hours medium jet
Don’t know about Relief Captain to Captain... correction, about two years for guys I know, after about 1,000 widebody hours. Apparently if a short haul Captain accrues 1,000 hours on The 737Max doing ETOPS, this allows them to apply for DEC in LH.

Start dates
I presume they are still interviewing for 787 FO and CA.

To be honest I would not know about your Boeing theory there, I cant comment on that but seems like a very strange approach if true. Its not going to be any easier for a 737 pilot to get typed over a A320, CRJ or Embraer 190 pilot.
Not sure they would do that but guess its a possibility!

From what I’ve been told by plenty that have done it, the similarities between the 73 and 78 stop at the name Boeing. The level of automation in the 320 is more akin to the 787 but it’s their train to play with.

" IAG International Airlines Group has confirmed it intends to open talks with Norwegian (DY, Oslo Gardermoen) over a possible takeover.
In a disclosure, the European carrier conglomerate described Norwegian as an "attractive investment". It added that its recent acquisition of a 4.61% stake in the Scandinavian low-cost carrier is intended to establish a position from which to initiate discussions with Norwegian, including the possibility of a full offer.
"IAG confirms that no such discussions have taken place to date, that it has taken no decision to make an offer at this time and that there is no certainty that any such decision will be made," it added.
Norwegian operates across several AOCs which, aside from its Norway-based operations, include Norwegian UK, Norwegian Air International (Ireland), and Norwegian Air Argentina. For its part, IAG operates LEVEL, Iberia, and Vueling Airlines in Spain, British Airways in the United Kingdom, and Aer Lingus in Ireland. "
