The international long haul ULCC business plane is clearly flawed. The idea you can charge a couple hundred bucks to fly in a brand new WB with oil that can fluctuate by 50% a barrel from the time you sell the ticket to the time you have to pay the fuel truck just doesn’t work. Even with their labor tricks and tax evasion tactics.

Go ahead, call me wrong. I’ll just sit on my perch and continue to watch them fold one by one. NAI next??

I've always viewed WoW and Norwegian as being in a horserace to close their doors. I don't expect either airline to be operating by May 2019.

WoW has shed more capacity than Norwegian, so right now I'm thinking Norwegian will close its doors first, probably sometime in January.

Don’t we have one APC member who flies for WOW?

That was me. I had a two year contract that ended a few months ago. I did not sign an extension, and have been working full time as an A320 TRI for an ATO.

Seems like an ideal life if you can stay ahead of the plow.
