No US based Norwegian Captain made $100k. In fact Cityline and DY contracts are comparable. You guys were bashing good people. A handful of guys were in talks with ALPA to help them unionize. It could have turned into something good eventually. The workers were passionate about building it up trying hard to establish themselves as worthy of an industry standard contract.
Luckily we were all given 6 months of full pay upon termination. We were all offered jobs by a (very) good ALPA carrier and I found myself in class within four weeks. I’m now employed at my ultimate end game (hopefully) employer. Thanks for the ill wishers. You taught me to “smile and wave”
Joke is on you
Dude, the TATL LCC model is doomed to fail. Which is why Norwegian was doomed to fail.
There have been many attempts at making the TATL LCC model work ever since Laker Airways. It doesn't work because demand and prices aren't there for 9 months a year. The airline needs to have cargo and corporate contracts to make it profitable, which is the only way the legacies make it work.
Norwegian won't fly another passenger TATL ever again. And they may not even emerge from bankruptcy. if they do survive bankruptcy, they will be a much smaller intra European airline.
