I know you are a bitter bunch but wether you like it or not, I don't take one of those jobs at your presious DAL, UAL because I don't want to...., I have plenty of references from many very senior instructors at both those carriers, I can get an interview whenever I want! I know it is a bitter pill to swallow when somebody rejects what you hold as your life!

But hey, at least you have a good topic to discuss on your next visit to the shrink.







You have no chance at Delta and I assume UAL and AA

Keep flying dog **** around the pacific rim and enjoy your commute
But boy any time you see a Delta 330/350 you would wished you were home MSP and work 10 days per month for 275k most likely 3rd compensation pay as a FO

Looks like the wolves are moving in. I guess the question will be what will IAG do with Norwegian.

Could be nothing. They may just be doing what they did to easyJet a few years ago, buy a minority share, hold on to it for six months, then dump it to crash the stock price. They could purchase it and dissolve it, taking the assets but dumping the crew or offering to put them at the bottom of the list of another IAG company like BA as they did with BMI. They could purchase it and operate it as a separate company as they did when the purchased Aer Lingus. Probably some other options as well. It will be interesting to see what happens. Publicly Bjørn Kjuss is saying the stock is undervalued, so he is not willing to entertain offers based on the current stick value. But what he says publicly and what he says privately are likely two very different things.

Got some friends flying there and if things keep going the way they are now there is nothing to worry about competition wise. The way the company throughs money out the window is unbelievable. It seems management doesn’t care about it at all. Maybe not wanting to make any money is part of the plan?
IAG might be the only way out, the current situation is not sustainable.

Norwegian's CEO has rejected IAG's overtures.

One positive result of IAG's move is that George Soros has been covering his Norwegian Air short at a loss. George Soros made a bet against Norwegian Air ? and lost 40% in a day - Business Insider

I'd say that Norwegian's long haul experiment is just about dead; they've now shifted 6 787 deliveries to a Chinese lessor. https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/...-aviation.html
Perhaps it's an early sale-leaseback, but it wasn't done from a position of strength.
