This isn't any different than what Cathay Pacific does with their crews based in the US.

I foresee a codeshare with Spirit or JetBlue moving forward. It could have the potential to change the landscape. These LCCs are the future, they will decimate the weaker legacys. UA and AA. DAL might be ok for a while but will still feel the pricing pressure on their int'l routes.
It's not so much the pilot costs they are saving, but the backend and under wing crews. I don't know what the other carriers pay their FAs but at AA there are probably 20,000 out of 24,000 topped out at $60/hr. That is ridiculous money for an FA. Ground crews make over $20/hr to load bags. Stupid money that should be paying close to min wage for unskilled labor.
These LCCs run a lean operation with point to point O&D markets cherry picking the best routes. Great business plan. NAI actually has nice aircraft and friendly staff. Reviews have been very positive.

Same thing with Egypt Air and Silk Air, sick pilots crashing on purpose.
Rumors says a UA 737 crashed for the same reason years ago, but only rumors.

"If you hold an FAA flight crew license, Norwegian will support conversion training to obtain an EASA license during a time of up to 2 years. During this period, you will operate under a waiver on European registered aircraft."
Given you are working for a contract company, how the heck can you trust Norweign to "support" a conversion. And nothing says job satisfaction like studying up on Morse Code and Euro style TERPs during your 10 days off from long haul flying.
