All of the U.S. airlines are revamping their long-haul products to compete with LCCs:

And for the record, Norwegian's 787s main cabin seats are the same as the main cabin 787 seats on American, United and Air Canada. According to seatguru.com, the main cabin on all of them offer 9 abreast at 31 to 32 inch pitch (American and Air Canada are listed at 31", Norwegian is shown at 31" to 32", and United is shown at 32".)
All the major airlines are pricing their product at a level where they are making a nice profit. Delta is doing extremely well over the Atlantic. Norwegian has been losing their ass on the long haul. If they were pricing it above their costs they would be profitable dont you think?
