Default Strike and scabs

The Scandinavian pilot group in Norwegian (officially hired through a subsidiary, Norwegian Air Norway, NAN) went on strike Feb 28th demanding to have their CLA tied to the mother company itself. Norwegian's CEO Bjorn Kjos is widely known as a union buster and countered with an "offer" to further divide the pilot group into individual companies/agreements for each of the three Scandinavian countries.

The strike started with 70 pilots on Saturday February 28th and escalated to include all of NANs 650 pilots by Wednesday March 4th. It was called off on this Tuesday, as an agreement was made in which the pilots get to maintain their CLA with NAN for another three years, while pretty significant concessions were made in return.

Pilots in other divisions of Norwegian, including NAI and 737-pilots based in London, Spain and Helsinki continued to operate flights on Norwegian's AOC and call sign throughout the whole strike, as these pilots are individually employed contractors and not yet organized. Furthermore, these companies all flew struck work on Norwegian call sign throughout the whole period:

- HiFly
- EuroAtlantic
