As a european carrier, all it can do is underminde the collective improvements in the european airline industry, and it tries to do that, same as Ryanair did, and all the others do. Every EU carrier has the same rights, and at some point will probably use them. So be prepared for the 1500€/month 150 hour Wizzair pilot flying to the US with unlimited traffic rights, once they order A321NEO LR. Or, for that matter, the pay to fly Air Baltic pilots. Norwegian is not the worst airline by far, they just use the possibilities earlier.
