From a Norwegian schedule posted on this thread.... 20FEB16 - 23FEB16 Holiday Inn Oakland Airport OAK
I wouldn't call the Holiday Inn Oakland airport nice for anything except a quick sleepover. A block or two away is basically gangland.

To be honest if you're young and just starting out then maybe, but all things considered the whole deal/lifestyle prospects don't look too good to me. I' d rather be in the middle east.
To each his own, sure enough..but if this is the future of long haul then mmmmh

Rosters
Any changes to the rosters! I was told it was initially the 'W' style roster but wondering if it has changed.
Does anybody know if they have actually started basing pilots out of Fort Lauderdale? I have heard they are short and not quite sure what is going on there. Is it just European crews taking care of those flights for now?
Im hearing massive delays in the training department from a pilot currently on his TR with Norwegian to be FLL based in Florida.
Are pilots able to average say a 4 on 3 off type schedule over a month? Whats the longest one canexpect to be away?

The Railway Labor Act of 1926 permits transportation workers to join a union, have representation and negotiate a collective agreement with the airline (their real employer) - Link:
https://www.legal.com/labor-employme...way-labor-act/
Via the Railway Act, Norwegian’s US based 787 cabin crew voted to join and be represented by the AFL-CIO, Association of Flight Attendants union – Link:

Norwegian’s US based pilots should seriously consider following the lead of the flight attendants. In addition to union representation and collective bargaining rights with the airline, their commuting may become easier.

Thank you for your diagnosis Dr. OMDB30R (someone please tell him a Spanish ATPL does not substitute a medical degree).
Perhaps the apparent stall in Norwegian’s 787 US basing’s is not due to possible union worries, but to its financial situation. E24 news 16/2/18:
“Bank Norwegian is giving Norwegian new losses this year”
“They [the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority] are now investigating the airline’s accounting treatment of the ownership interest in the consumer bank and the parent company Norwegian Finans Holding”
“The question is whether Norwegian has so much control over the bank that the airline must account for the ownership interest in the bank in relation to the bank’s book equity”
“In that case, the value would be almost two billion lower than what was stated in the 2017 accounts”
“It would have almost halved the airlines equity”

Please provide other answers, if you have them, to assist those in making their choice to apply.

Be cautious of what Bondi says, as I say this person is a simple nutter and hopefully does not hold any form of “real” license, all this person does is copy and paste......classic looser.
Bondi you are welcome for the diagnosis which wasn’t difficult at all, now I would recommend you get some overdue therapy and I don’t propose to enter into any further discussion with you.

FLL Bases
Well in fairness to what Bondi says I have spoken to pilots currently doing their Type Rating and they are trying to find out info about KFLL bases.
They are in the dark as well and do not have a definitive answer. They assume all is well but have not been given any specifics. I do not claim to know what is going on but it seems rather strange any info about this base seems very hard to come by.
There do not appear to be any pilots based there at present with no figures available on aircraft or crew numbers to be based there.
Im not saying they are covering something up or are about to go bust but the lack of information available is puzzling if not worrying. What happens to pilots who gave up jobs for NAS if KFLL fall through.
I find it very strange that it is so hard to find out what is going on with the Florida base and the flight crews.

calling Bondi a nutter? I can say you have no idea: a colleague and pprune poster that now works for Norwegian says that they find its post vey informative. Some of the things that Bondi mentioned many years ago are turning or already turned into reality...(unfortunately).
I, for one, questioned many things reported by Bondi with different "entities" and sources and I do believe he has been of great help in my assessment of Norwegian. For that I will be forever grateful.

FLL
The funny thing is there is no info anywhere on the FLL base for pilots. Just what was mentioned in interviews etc.
Its like FLL has already failed and they are trying to hush it up. I know pilots who have signed their contract and started or done the type rating but kind of in the dark as to whats next.
Time will tell I guess. This only pertains to the 787 of course.
