Now both JetBlue and Virgin America are part of the ALPA fold. Neither killed the legacy airlines despite the pronouncements that they would. This is just another example of this. Even if Norwegian grows to their fully projected size, they will still be a drop in the bucket of the transatlantic traffic.


That's good to hear. Guys (me included) get so worked up and emotional about this because we have so much to lose. Appreciate your insight from the other side of the world.
