Then why don't you want to see BA, Lufthansa, SAS, and every other European airline die? They all pay significantly less than their U.S. counterparts. Norwegian was nowhere near the bottom when it came to wide body pay among European carriers. Isn't every airline guilty of depressing yields on routes? Unless they are colluding with one another, they are in competition and depressing yields. Southwest is the airline it is today because it spent decades undercutting yields in the States (i.e. "The Southwest Effect"). Still failing to see the reason for the vitriol. Given their mismanagement and recklessness, I would think the response would be more tilted towards bewilderment and amusement towards Norwegian, not anger, especially considering U.S. pilots were experiencing arguably the best contracts and work rules of the deregulation era. I guess I could see anger if they were hiring third world pilots to operate European routes, while pilots were generally struggling as they did in the post 9/11 era, but that is not what was happening. Oh well. Long haul is gone, and as expected, they are re-structuring to be a smaller Nordic focused short-haul carrier.
