Trouble is, they drive down service at the same time and if not enough people will pay for a better level of service, the better level of service starts to be removed from the market. Thus the rise of Rouge flights and the reduction of mainline Air Canada flights.
Norwegian is arguably helping to drive up service and other standards in the US legacy airlines on long-haul. If what I've heard about Air Canada recently is even partially correct, then Norwegian could well be the injection in the arm that AC needs.
