Maybe it has changed lately, but it was 14 different written tests taking courses over a year?
Sounds like a pain in the tail pipe to me

Norwegian Air says their fares are 30 to 70 percent lower in this article:
But Norwegian Air, in the wake of those damning assertions, was quick to point out to the Chicago Business Journal that, from its perspective, the upstart carrier — which offers fares to Europe 30 percent to 70 percent lower than those typically charged by United, Delta and American — is fully compliant with the Open Skies agreement signed in 2007 between the United States and the European Union.

What's more as the Ireland-based carrier rapidly expands service to the United States on a growing Boeing Dreamliner fleet, it is rapidly hiring American cabin crew to support its expanding operations. A spokesman for Norwegian Air said that at the end of 2016, the carrier had 500 U.S.-based cabin crew working for the airline and expects to have upwards of 1,000 U.S.-based crew by the end of 2017.

Still 14 exams. But can be done over a few months if you apply yourself. I only worked on it part time and from first exam to license in hand was less than 8 months.

Interesting in that the Ireland carrier does not have any 787s. All of the 787s are operated by the Norwegian Air Shuttle AOC which is based in Norway. Norwegian Air International only operates 737s. They may transfer some 787s in the future, but at this point all of the Dreamliners are operated under the Norwegian operation. So when you see a Norwegian 787 in the States, they ARE NOT NAI.

Just noticed yesterday when departing CPH that some of the Norwegian flights use the "Norshuttle" callsign and some use the "Nortrans" callsign. Pretty sure "Norshuttle" is the Norwegian AOC and "Nortrans" is NAI.

Sorry for a question thats probably been answered a million times by now but how is Norwegian flying 737s out of FLL? Dont they at one point or another have to get back to Norway?

Why the need for such a shell game in the first place? Pretty telling

Pretty telling that after multiple threads on the subject, numerous news articles and the very simple ability to do a Google search, that you are still apparently completely ignorant to the numerous financial advantages and the aircraft utilisation advantages offered by having an operation in Ireland

It is called the European Economic Area, or EEA. The EEA is the EU minus the agricultural and fishing regulations. Norway is part of the EEA, so like airlines from any EU or EEA nation, they are free to operate to and from any nation or territory of the EU and EEA. So no, they are not required to get back to Norway at any point, they just have to go to or from an EU/EEA nation or territory.

The flying they are doing between the Caribbean and the US on their own branding is done from EU territories in the Caribbean, specifically Martinique and Guadeloupe. Apparently they are doing some wet lease flying for some of the US vacation companies as well, similar to what Miami Air does when they operate within Europe.

NE Dude Just curious who you used for the exams.I'm thinking of doing them myself and am considering BGS.
