I'll give equal standing to the one who's been flying pax into GCC at midnight as the kingair intel gatherer (drones around for hours in circles). Your personality will probably be the deciding factor.
My NAS training experience was seven months long. It consisted of an EASA medical and Norwegian air force swim test, One month at Boeing Miami, one month in Norway doing corporate training including CRM with an ex Norwegian air force pilot psychologist. We did the cabin crew cooperation CRM course and security equipment training with British Airways. My three line trainers were a Dutch ex-navy instructor with over 20 years of TRI/TRE experience at KLM, an ex Luftwaffe Tornado instructor, and an Emirates TRI/TRE. Many in my class were ex military and we had a couple of Red Bull racers at the company as well.
You may not like the political aspect of Norwegian but to say the training experience is somehow subpar to U.S. domestic or even a regional carriers is completely disconnected from reality.
