(The US can't even handle foreign rivals connecting US customers via a point outside the US....and of course, foreign rivals can't connect US customers domestically)

Be as smug as you want, but you've been wrong about Norwegian from the start. They WILL eventually go out of business unless they radically change their business plan and, honestly, I suspect it is too late for that. Nothing you or I say about it will change this outcome. It's just a miserable business plan, and we have plenty of evidence already to confirm this. Sorry. It has nothing to do with them being a European airline, an American airline or a Martian airline. Business is business.
