Just like the decades long and never ending "this latest BA budget cut is the beginning of the end of BA!", I don't think the majority of you know what you're talking about.

Though I will of course concede Norwegian is in a far more precarious stage of existence so a collapse is certainly plausible. I'd however wager they're more likely to temper their rapid growth and focus on margins than to collapse. The Primera comparison is nonsense - Norwegian is well established and, although is overreaching, is fundamentally profitable.
I may be wrong on this, but on all the speculation about Norwegian's survival on here, I don't remember anyone suggesting they are about to fold 'any minute now' as you put it. I think we are in agreement though tbat their position is precarious.
