I'm not sure how you figure they're not selling tickets below cost. Even if you use questionable accounting, they still have losses. (Norwegian had to restate earnings a while back due to their accounting methods).
At the current ticket prices, Norwegian Air is not a sustainable business model. They ran out of money earlier this year and the only thing that 'saved' them was a massively dilutive secondary stock offering.
While Boeing has some incentive to keep airlines like WN and AA happy, I'm not sure what incentive they have to keep Norwegian happy -- basically, to go above and beyond what they're contractually obligated to do. I don't think there's anyone in the sector who would bet on Norwegian being in business a couple years from now. So their current "happiness" probably isn't worth much to Boeing at the moment.
