Hey Dr Rocket Scientist, how much is $7500x12? 90K?
Or is a relief captain not a captain in your world?

As far as Norwegian's FL operation, it was a subsidiary of the parent company. Just like all of the other spawns of Norwegian. Norwegian Air Resources and it just filed for Chap 7, thankfully.
Norwegian Air subsidiary Norwegian Air Resources US files Chapter 7 bankruptcy, lays off workers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport - South Florida Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

Norwegian TATL LCC is just another stupid idea that died. Not because of Coronavirus, but because they were selling tickets at a loss in spite of load factors in the high 80s.

Norwegian's motto: 'We're losing money on every ticket sold, but we're making up for it in volume'

With average load factors approaching 90%,they don't even have the excuse that they were just charging teaser fares to stimulate business. More European business acumen in action.
