Norwegian opens Rome base
|
molto beenee
How many aircraft will they base there? will they be basing crews as well? |
article says so, yes, some 60 jobs in total
|
2 based aircraft initially.
|
Yawn.........
|
I this planned as just a summer base or an all year round base ????
|
787s too?????
|
Only 60 jobs with 2 based aircraft? My my they should learn from Ryanair who seems to be able to create 12000 local jobs per based aircraft according to their ridiculous press releases.
|
Sudden base openings and blatant press releases come at cost, usually for the pilots.
Stay miles away from them, in just a couple of years they managed to get a pretty bad reputation and FCO won't be any different. |
@ fightthepower,
Don't forget, according to those same ridiculous type of press releases, Norwegian is in this case investing 200 million into the Rome area! Namely the 2 aircraft. :D Norwegian still have to learn on the propaganda front. |

What! and no claim about how many scullions of jobs this will create? They surely are not their father's son, or are they being too honest? |
Lets see how long it takes for Norwegian and the smiling rock-ape to upset the Italian unions. Select from below if those Rome based pilots can depend on the declared solidarity, strength and determination of the Norwegian Pilot Group, to fully engage management in any contentious issues:-
|
Rumour says PMI next, followed by a Nice "non-base" (bit like the RYR "non-base" in MRS & surprise surprise, for exactly the same reasons . . .we are "cheapskates" . . . . funny how Easy manage OK :hmm: )
|
Looking at it from another angle, if they were to open a base at your local airport, which airline would be least likely to give up after a short period of time leaving you high and dry: Ryanair, Norwegian, Transavia? I am not talking about terms and conditions but how likely they are to make a success out of it, offering you long term employment.

Guaranteed Flight Allowance 78.120 (65BH/Month)
Guaranteed what ? that you will be rostered 65BH / month ? or that you are paid for min 65BH / month . . . . . regardless of sickness :hmm: 12 mths a year :rolleyes: Welcome to the (not so ) new (not so ) brave world of being a "Service Provider" , championed in an Island stuck out in the near Atlantic, recycled by a bunch of Nordics for consumption by the great unthinking who it is hoped will flock to the heart of the Roman Empire . . . . . recycled cr@p doesn't taste any better than cr@p, and it smells even more pungent. Another rehashed unimaginative development from the FR wannabes of the North, & yet another new "low" is reached . . . or should that be retched :yuk: |
So, for every week of vacation you lose 3 off days, on top of that, the vacation compensation is based on your basic salary which is roughly a "fourth to a third" of your actual salary with the flight compensation.
Expecting some shafting of the pilots for 2-4 months during the winter season with no prior proper notice. Unless Rome is particularly popular during the winter months. If you've signed up for these terms you probably wouldn't mind some further shafting. Separating flight pay and basic salary under very ambiguous terms triggers warning alarms here. |
