As a full fare pax, on my company’s quid, I’ll say “Hey” to the cabin crew entering the aircraft, identify myself as an ABP, take my seat and await for a plethora of breadsticks and cognac;). Oh wait. We don’t get eight her of those on U.S. carriers.:(

The Norwegian Air scum that had the audacity to put Babe Ruth on the tail of one of their 787’s.

Aren't they about to go under?

I hope so.

Norwegian has three employee workgroups:
Norwegian Air Shuttle
Norwegian Long Haul
...and the infamous Norwegian Air Intl.

They are currently all Nordic/Euro Pilots, under those respective labor rules. The last one, NAI, only flies 737s. The current 787s you see flying today are Norwegian LH pilots. They have been are fighting their mgmt over scope and don’t want to see 787s given to the NAI workgroup either. In fact all the Ireland registered AC have been re-registered in Norway or UK, meaning the NAI we fought to deny, has in fact died.

If you want something to be mad at, check our what Swiss did with their new 777s—They gave them to their regional partner to operate, how bout that. They fly them to the US too.

Yup. The TOTD is the MGT schmuck that had the idea of the business model and put him on the tail.

You have a link to info on the Swiss deal?

NAI actually didn't get 787 so the ones in fll I see aren't the bad guys.... oops

Exactly. I share that piece because a lot of people paint all Norwegian planes and crews with the same paint brush. If only we spent those same efforts fixing our own internal scope issues (regional airlines).

Look up “Swiss Global Airlines” and “Swiss Intl Air Lines”. Wikipedia should tell it all.

I have never "checked in" with the flight crew of an flight on whcih I'm a ticked passenger. Why on earth would they care? I'm just another passenger. I'm not special because I happen to be a pilot.
