US pilot union would drop opposition to Dublin-based Norwegian Air unit if contract pledge made - Independent.ie

“They just need to tell that to the DOT in a filing so that they’re committed to it,” said Mr Canoll, who claimed that ALPA has made attempts to encourage NAI to make that commitment, but that NAI has “refused”.

Norwegian will try to avoid that like plague

All the discussion about who might take these jobs is largely moot if WYOMINGPILOT's previous statement is accurate:

"The Recruiting agency I just spoke with said EASA no longer allows anyone to fly on a validation license so you MUST have the EASA ATPL before starting employment." That would stop many of the willing in their tracks.

While I don't doubt they can find a US citizen or two (or more) already holding an EASA license, there's no data yet to indicate what their other quals or inclinations might be.

This issue needs more facts and time to see how it's going to shake out. So far, just the Blind Men and the Elephant. ;-))

I meet all the requirements, and I even have the EASA license, but they would have to pay double for me to consider the job.

Also, since it's a foreign carrier, there are no reciprocal jumpseat agreements and commuting would not be an option.
