Wouldn't help us pilots, but certainly would be a huge coup for the flying public to have cheaper flights to/from Europe...
That would actually be fine.... a British company following British labor law and complying with British regulations.
What NAI wants to do is basically what the cargo ship industry has done over the last 50 years, find a country that will register your ship with lax oversight to include labor, mx and regulation. Then undercut all of the "over regulated" economies you can find.
