More than 5,500 Americans are competing for 300 jobs as cabin crew on Norwegians routes between the U.S. and Europe and Asia. “We’ve encountered a luxury problem,” said Norwegian’s HR Director, Gunnar Martinsen. Norwegian began recruiting U.S. cabin crew in October 2013 and so far the response has been formidable. The airline has received more than 5,500 applications for a total of 300 positions to be filled in 2014. So far, about 170 have been offered jobs in Fort Lauderdale and New York, while the remaining 130 are currently being recruited to the two U.S. crew bases. Several crew members have already had their first days in the air. “Our new colleagues, many of whom have previous experience from airlines such as British Airways and United ‘love Norwegian’s strategy and concept’ and look forward to flying the Dreamliner,” said HR Director Gunnar Martinsen. “Our new crew members also say that Norwegian’s conditions are highly competitive and that our training program keeps a very high quality level compared to their previous experiences,” Martinsen added. “When I heard that Norwegian was establishing a crew base in the U.S., I immediately had to apply. This company is going to conquer the world,” said Joseph Gabriel from the New York crew base. Gabriel has previously worked for British Airways.
