Norwegian Air International (NAI) flagged (registered) in Ireland, sets up a ‘flag of convenience’ model in aviation—the same business model that destroyed U.S. shipping. NAI will use this ‘flag of convenience’ model to hire crews from countries with the lowest labor and safety standards, such as Malaysia or Thailand.
This business model puts all of our jobs at risk. It essentially sells out good paying jobs here in the United States, to the lowest bidder overseas. If you think this will not impact our industry and our jobs, you must think again. U.S. based airlines will be forced to compete with NAI, and possibly other airlines under this flag of convenience business model. Employees will ultimately pay the price as our company will be competing with ultra low wage carriers.

NAI DAY OF ACTION
DENYNAI DAY OF ACTION:
We need volunteers to hand out informational flyers to passengers and crew in SEA.
We realize this is short notice during a very busy time of the year. The increased passenger traffic during this period will help build awareness.
RSVP to: christelnhall@gmail.com or adam.clarey@afaalaska.org.
Please volunteer and help bring attention to this issue!
Your job may depend on it!
