I am Norwegian and I have stopped flying with this airline because of safety concerns. They are cutting costs everywhere, and they are leasing cheap flight crew

  The flights must be incredibly uncomfortable. They are packing many more passengers into their planes[1]. E.g. that article linked to a previous one where Norwegian Air was unable to fly into Vegas during the summer, because their heavy planes couldn't legally take off in hot weather. [1]Norwegian packs 291 seats on to its Boeing 787 -8 models and 344 on to its bigger 787-9s. By comparison, United's 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliner models seat 219 and 252 passengers, respectively. http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2016/11/17/too-hot-fly-norwegian-air-suspends-summer-las-vegas-flights/94025902/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2...

    The seats in economy are the same size (ok United is 0.1 inch wider), but Norwegian only fly two-class and their premium section is smaller. https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Airlines_Boeing_787-800.php https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Air... https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Norwegian_Air_Shuttle/Norwegian_Air_Shuttle_Boeing_787-8.php https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Norwegian_Air_Shuttle/Norw...
