Jesus. It’s too early for an April Fools joke.

My Norwegian is a little rusty, but I am willing to bet some money they won't fly before end of this year like they are claiming.

It didn’t work the first time, why try the same model again?

Welcome to the airline industry.

Because even though it may be a money losing proposition overall, there are a few people who do personally make a large sum of money on things like this. Sort of like the CEO who gets a $50 million bonus when he runs a company into bankruptcy, then gets a huge signing bonus to be the CEO of yet another company. Same sort of thing. Even though Norwegian lost money with its long haul expansion, Bjorn Kjos and Bjorn Kise ended up benefiting personally, which is why they are willing to do it yet again.

^^^^^ This, there’s no shortage of idiots fid these guys to fleece.

Norwegians are known as the Arabs of Europe. So much oil money that they don't know what to do with it.

Well they certainly didn’t want to bail out Norwegian
