Norwegian Announces US - Caribbean Flights

[DC10]

Maybe I should have posted this in the Foreign Carriers section, but it affects Major airline pilots too. It looks like they're starting small with 3 737-800s from BWI, BOS & JFK to Martinique and Guadeloupe, but this could be the start of something much bigger.

Reading the article, I had no idea how large their long-haul operation had become. If the article is correct, with these routes they will offer more routes out of JFK than any other foreign airline, and more US-Europe routes than any other European airline.

Interesting reading...

Uh, 186 seats in a 737-800? This can't be correct; at least not the "comfortable" part. :laugh:


" . . . the airline will fly its new Boeing 737-800s with 186 comfortable, leather seats".

 

[DC10]

Yeah, definitely not comfortable. Some European charter airlines fit 189 in there, with 29" pitch.

Ryan Air 737-800 has 189 seats and is worse than a cattle car, the seats are so rigid and an ordinary sized person cant even get the tray table down ( I have the battle scars)

You forgot to mention the interior colo(u)rs that keep your cons and rods confused for weeks!

Yup we all need to wake up. This is the toe in the door.

NAI and this business model is a bigger threat to our careers and livelihood than the ME3 will ever be. I hope the big 3, JB, and SW drop 12 flights a day on the same routes at the same time.
