1) A desperate one, one that is stuck at a low paying regional? 2) One with lots of skeletons in the closet? 3) One that really wants to fly a 787? Truly amazing how our industry is slowly but surely going the way of the cruising world. I hope all of these petitions and calls to actions will be heard. TEN I wager it will attract stuck up Embaer-Riddle grads with gel hair and and ego wanting to brag about how they fly a, "Big jet across the water," Their ego and the "promise" of higher paying work at a US major when they get the hours will be the bait. The truth is they will learn too late that they shot themselves and pretty much every US major employee in the foot. By the time they get those hours the high paying jobs they were, "promised," will have evaporated. Sadly too will be the pay and benefits that come with a major airline job. Also note I'm not a airline pilot, but dispatcher. Like pilots I've worked to get were I am and what I make and still have a good future ahead, but letting stuff such as this Norwegian scam happen will affect me too, thus why I gladly signed the petition. Remember, the snowball stands to catch all of us if allowed to roll. |

We need to make sure no one who works there is ever hired at a US carrier. Ever.

Rah Rah Rah... you tell them Drank! You go right on the defensive and threaten your carrier with resignation if they consider hiring anyone... anyone, even if they are a personal friend of yours:eek: coming from a M/E carrier... wait, let's not be bigoted here... even if they've flown with any carrier not based in the US:confused:.

I hate to say it but isn't this what capitalism is all about?
"Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industry and the means of production are controlled by private owners with the goal of making profits in a market economy." Notice it says nothing about playing fair or level field. The owners of Norwegian are out to make a profit and seem to have a scheme going forward. |

This isn't any more "capitalistic" than the corportist Bank of Boeing foreign airline subsidy. They are circumventing the entire process with their flag of convienience attempt. If you think that is "capitalism" or "freedom" you should be OK with nuking all labor laws and regulations and let any company do anything with no limits. Capitalism is certainlly profit oriented, but its not anarchy. Giving a foreign entity drastic advantages over your own in like industries to funnel profits to a preferred class of investors is far more fascist than it is capitalist. |
