Hello to everyone looking for some information about the interview with Norwegian I have a date on February and I want to be prepared for the day. Thank you

Joachim

Its very straight forward. They will tell you what to prepare for.

First there will be a group exercise. They want to see how you work with others in a time sensitive situation.

Secondly there will be a written. Air Law, met, aerodynamics etc...

Third is the sim session. 90 minutes total broken up in two sessions of PF & PM. V2 cut, Inflight emergency, SE ILS to mins followed by published missed. For me it was a B737, I have heard it varies. Their attitude is that a plane is a plane.

Fourth is HR session. One pilot and one HR guy. TMAAT, why should we hire your, why do you want to work here etc...

Hope this helps...

So, how many Americans have been picked up by NAI (also what mix Capt vs FO) so far? What are the numbers? How many more going forward? FLL and JFK bases?

Are you saying that the income quoted(what was it 15k?) is after tax income? If so, that is still pathetically low for a Captain. However, that 15k qouted is before tax, so after factoring in the high European taxes, you end up with even less take home pay relative to your US counterparts. But your kids can get a decent education, so there’s that. Boy, don’t you just love the idea of doubling your taxes so every bum in society can get a free education and healthcare? NOT!

To answer your question, I can put much as I want out of that tax free. I put none however because a few generous relatives gift money every year to my kids 529. The money goes in tax free, grows tax free, and isn’t taxed when it’s taken out.

How so? How much do you know about COBRA, pre-existing conditions, no exclusion clauses, LTD insurance, etc. Everything I hear From my relatives in England is how terrible healthcare is over there.

First of all, it is not double. But yes, I happily pay more in taxes so everyone can get an education. This leads to far less "bums" in society. And do not pull the old "not everyone needs a college education" trick. All education is covered, be it university, trade school, technical school, culinary school, etc.

Because everyone has healthcare coverage, the costs of healthcare are far lower. You may be under the mistaken impression that when an uninsured person in the States fails to pay their emergency room bill that the money is just somehow "written off". The cost of the unpaid bills, plus all the expenses stemming from the collection efforts, are passed on to those who do pay through higher charges and insurance premiums. Which is a large part of the reason Americans pay far more for healthcare, but have worse results than other developed nations.

So yes, for a lot of people the idea of a better educated and healthy population is worth paying more in taxes.

It must be that most Americans know or be related to the same handful of Brits/Canadians/Europeans, because the mood in those places is overwhelmingly opposed to switching to an American style healthcare system. There is a reason there is a saying in most western democracies that the fastest way for a politician to lose their job is to suggest adopting the American healthcare model. As someone who has lived with both systems, the idea of going back to the American system is itself enough to scare me off of the idea of moving back across the Atlantic.
