I've been out of the game for quite a while so I applied for a number of different positions. I'm very hopeful I can get back in the game.

I don't have a dog in the Norwegian race, but for those of you considering the move, you might be interested in these articles. They are from July, but offer more analysis than the usual drivel from the fake news media.

Now you just burst the bubble of hope for pilots who can't get hired at a respectable airline with a solid union contract.

Here is an easy explanation of the aviation freedoms. It gives an insight to why Norwegian established AOC's in EU countries to gain access to the single aviation market of the European union and benefit from the open skies agreement. The video also illustrates how the Deny NAI campaign has to do with fear of competition by a 70 year old monopoly using labor unions for its dirty work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thqbjA2DC-E
Secondly lets review the Deny NAI video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abpuemntPeQ
Here are the claims:
-Norwegian plans to fly US based aircraft between Europe and the US with a different flag than displayed by their livery.
-Norwegian is trying to circumvent US laws thus hampering safety by abiding to less restrictive legislation.
-Norwegian hires pilots in Singapore and bases them in Thailand to fly US routes.
Here is the reality:
-Yes they are and that is legal as per ICAO regulation (i.e. international law) in which the USA participates. We wrote the rules and they apply internationally. This is not new at all, its lawmaking harking back to early aviation. This is what matters and not what ALPA, airline management, or you think.
-Norwegian abides to EU regulation just like British Airways does (for now) and when in the USA with local legislation. The aircraft are of British registry.
-Norwegians main crew base on the 787 is LGW. That is only part of the story. They also have crew bases in Norway, Denmark, France and the rest of Europe. In fact only two of an exhaustive list of crew bases are situated in Asia to serve that region, much like FLL and PVD serves the U.S. region. Delta Air Lines has its main crew base in ATL, not the Mississippi Delta. Who cares?
This nonsense notion of third world country pilots flying unsafe aircraft to and from the US simply isn't true. The US-based pilots are dual rated both EASA and FAA. The EASA ATPL rating is a much more advanced rating than the local-prop-job-mom&pop-esque FAA ATPL. There is much more focus on internationally relevant airline operations within the 14 subjects. The material is much deeper and the testing environment is much more homogenous and professional.
The hiring process consists of online tests, phone interview, group exercises, sim evals, written technical tests, multitasking tests, reading comprehension tests, and panel interview. Sound familiar?
What Norwegian pilots haven't done is standing shoulder to shoulder in the correct color suit for hours, prepped by the same answer prepping agency. They haven't acquiesced to participate in and pay for special interest events that they may or may not believe in. Norwegian pilots will not have had to make sure that every phone number has a dot or a dash to match, that n/a should be capitalized or that they have at least 4 internal recs. They haven't had to rub shoulders with people they would otherwise have no genuine interest in. In the end it's up to the airlines to determine what they value and that should not cause strife amongst pilots.
I wish the legacies all the success in the world. I cherish their rich history and hope that they will continue to succeed. I think that the landscape will shift for the better with the advent of global LCC's. I think Legacies will move upmarket and focus on their bread and butter which is the premium and business traveler. With the advent of $300 transatlantic tickets I believe the general public of the US will begin to fly and see the world. I think this will enrich the entire country tremendously. It will help educate the masses to see what else is out there and how things can be done differently. It will open the eyes of people to realize the global arena that the USA competes in.
Someone told me vexatiosly to wear my uniform proudly. I answer genuinely, I will.
