You guys are funny! This career has always paid low wages, nothing new...There was a brief period in the early 2000's when UAL and DAL had good contracts and that didn't last long. Although the wages are decent now, there are no more pensions. At best, an airline career will give one a middle class lifestyle and that's about it. However, there are those that will retire wealthy relatively speaking but those are very few who made some good investment decisions. Norwegian is not the only problem on the horizon, there will be many other obstacles to face n it's not over yet. Having said that, an airline job is still not that bad of a career assuming one loves the profession.

Not only will NAI staff their airplanes easily, but now that this precedent is set they will be the first of MANY flag of convienence carriers which will collectively destroy United, Delta, and American.

Look at the past 10 years, the 'lost decade' if you will. One unprecedented, unexpected thing after another. I don't understand why people think the next 10 years will be any different- like we're permantly over the hump and the next 10 years will be smooth sailing. If anything, it follows that the next 10 years will have unprecedented and unexpected events just like the last 10.

There were plenty before they pulled this in the maritime industry.
