The direct impact to me is that because my airline was less profitable in 2018 due to Norwegian, my bonus check is smaller.
I assume you're just playing dumb on this issue, as it's very obvious that Norwegian's ticket pricing is depressing other carriers' yields.

Norwegian's ticket pricing WELL BELOW their cost has caused US carriers to lower their ticket prices. The impact is that US airlines are less profitable due to the existence of Norwegian.

Documentation from a reliable source to cooborate youy statement.
Do you object when your airline lowers fares to drive out the competition?
OK Andy... alternative facts are fun... at times. But as the saying goes... Facts are facts...
NAI - KJFK - EGKK 3 nonstop flights (random check).
BA - KJFK - EGLL & EGKK combined - 15 non flights, also random check.
There are 30 nonstop flights to London (EGLL and EGKK)
DAL - 9. UAL 5. AA 16. Not to mention additional flights with transfers too.
Then there are a bunch of TATL flights offered by BA and VA, which is a JV with DAL.
NAI, also, offers additional options to EGKK with transfers.
An economy seat in any Boeing product be it a 757, also a narrow body or 777, 787, 744 is crappy at best to say the least. Its the overall service. Foreign carriers outshine US carriers when it come to overall service. I can see why the consumer is going to purchase a product that provides the best bang for the buck.
United Airlines financial report doesn’t agree with you.

Delta Airlines financial report doesn’t agree with you either.

Even Southwest Airlines says:
Southwest Airlines Reports Fourth Quarter And Annual Profit; 46th Consecutive Year Of Profitability.
Ask management the reason for, as you imparted, under performance as compared to the local competitor?
Nothing to see here... US carrier do the same to their competition to eradicate competitor invading their territory.
Don’t blame the competition... blame your management, given stated robust performance in 2018.
They are selling their tickets at well below cost, in spite of load factors greater than 80%.
They have more available seats between London and the NYC area than British Airways.

Passengers don't care that they're in a guppy TATL; Norwegian's loads prove that. All they care about is low ticket prices.
I cannot believe that you would think that Norwegian doesn't negatively impact other airlines.

They're filling their planes but still selling their tickets at a price point where they're losing money on every single passenger. That forces other carriers to lower their ticket prices.
Because of Norwegian, my bonus is smaller this year. Do I want to see them go out of business? Yes. Thankfully, that should happen when this rights issuance goes poorly.

Explain “scab mentality” when nobody’s striking... no picket line being crossed. Being a SW nee Air Tran chap the following does not apply his to you...
But... it appears, for the current period, nobody’s livelyhood is in jeopardy. Although, one should be wary of outsourcing in the name of codesharing. Aren’t JVs by US with foreign carriers more of a threat to one’s livelihood than NAIs alleged US invasion?
