If Norwegian were to go under, Norwegian guys would not have any issues getting hired. There are very few Americans at Norwegian, and European pilots don't care as Norwegian is set up like many European airlines. Many airlines run on multiple AOCs, and while many utilize contracts, European employment law means that regardless of using a contract or not, the pilots are real employees and their work rules must comply with the labor law of the country in which they are based. Most Norwegian pilots are unionized too. Overall Norwegian pay rates and benefits are around the middle of the pack when it compared to other European airlines. Less than the legacy airlines, but higher than the likes of Tui/Thompson, Eurowings, Euro-Atlantic, and other smaller carriers who do wide-body long-haul flying.
