I used Bristol, their ATPL Digital program. I supplemented it with a question bank. It worked well.

I rest my case. Flag of Convenience.

Second that... I used them in 2005.

Let me guess, you work for the buggy whip industry? If the NAI/UK operation is deemed legal and permitted by a bilateral agreement, then professionalism should be expected for US based pilots. Do you accept Allegiant, Spirit, Frontier or other ULCC pilots on your flight deck even though their companies are undercutting profit margins at the legacies through increased competition? Quit being such a big DOOOOOOOOOOOSH Bag!

Nothing but internet posturing......, he probably have given rides to many UCAL actual scabs without a care in the world.....!

Soon the laser pointer will be directed at the new distraction and NAI pilots jump seats will be as common as Gojets....!

Remember the ME3 blacklist? How some guys here knew someone at HR and they were told that the pilots from the ME3 won't be hired?

All nonsense.....!

I love the laser pointer analogy! Very accurate.

But within the laws of the EU and EEA agreements. They are not setting up shop outside of the EU, or circumventing any EU laws and regulations. Ireland is part of the EU and is party to the Open Skies treaty. The establishment of the Irish AOC was done in conjunction with EU/EEA agreements. They have done nothing that has allowed them to circumvent European labour laws, and establishing an AOC in another European country that is a party to the Open Skies treaty is not prohibited by the Open Skies treaty. Arguing that Norwegian is violating EU labour laws by setting up a flag of convenience in an EU country is just silly. It would be as silly as arguing that a New York company is trying to get around U.S. law by setting up a subsidiary in Delaware to take advantage of Delaware's corporate tax advantages.

What's a descent pilot? Is that a pilot that only knows how to go down?

Keep trying to convince yourselves that you're not doing anything wrong. For every guy on here that says they won't let a Norwegian pilot on their Jumpsest, I've flown with 25 more that say the same.

Scabbing is legal and permitted under the law...

The LCCs in the US are unionized, and are trying to lift themselves up to major pay/QOL. (Good luck doing that as an independent contractor) Yes their exsistence has put downward pressure on the majors pay and QOL over the decades. What they HAVENT done is participate in a completely new business model designed to destroy the industry. Professional courtesy? You must be kidding me. Flag of conveinience. If you don't understand the difference I can't help you, but I can promise you'll almost never see a jumpsest, and having NAI on your resume will be a showstopper for every other ALPA carrier and pilot you meet. If you think I'm kidding, there are DENYNAI billboards in the flight ops spaces of every airport we domicile out of, it's all over our private message boards, and the awareness campaign has brought member awareness to almost 100% based on recent experience.

I'd argue that Southwest did exactly this.
