. The EASA license is not that hard to get. The expense is the worst part and it appears Norwegian is helping on that front.
Sounds like a pain in the tail pipe to me

Norwegian Air says their fares are 30 to 70 percent lower in this article:
But Norwegian Air, in the wake of those damning assertions, was quick to point out to the Chicago Business Journal that, from its perspective, the upstart carrier — which offers fares to Europe 30 percent to 70 percent lower than those typically charged by United, Delta and American — is fully compliant with the Open Skies agreement signed in 2007 between the United States and the European Union.
What's more as the Ireland-based carrier rapidly expands service to the United States on a growing Boeing Dreamliner fleet, it is rapidly hiring American cabin crew to support its expanding operations. A spokesman for Norwegian Air said that at the end of 2016, the carrier had 500 U.S.-based cabin crew working for the airline and expects to have upwards of 1,000 U.S.-based crew by the end of 2017.

Just noticed yesterday when departing CPH that some of the Norwegian flights use the "Norshuttle" callsign and some use the "Nortrans" callsign. Pretty sure "Norshuttle" is the Norwegian AOC and "Nortrans" is NAI.

The flying they are doing between the Caribbean and the US on their own branding is done from EU territories in the Caribbean, specifically Martinique and Guadeloupe. Apparently they are doing some wet lease flying for some of the US vacation companies as well, similar to what Miami Air does when they operate within Europe.
