WASHINGTON 鈥� Don’t feel so bad about the typo in your tweet 鈥� it’s a lot harder to fix it with skywriting.
Above Northern Virginia Monday afternoon, many saw a message that read 鈥�#Deny NIA,鈥� but the confirms it should have been 鈥�#Deny NAI.鈥�
It鈥檚 part of the against allowing Norwegian Airlines to operate in the United States.
鈥淸Monday’s]聽skywriting was part of ALPA鈥檚 campaign to demonstrate opposition to Norwegian鈥檚 request for a foreign air carrier permit. While the first pass was a bit jumbled, like Norwegian鈥檚 business plan, it is easily corrected. Norwegian should consider doing the same,鈥� an ALPA spokesperson said in a statement.
The association 鈥� which聽represents and advocates for more than 52,000 pilots at 30 U.S. and Canadian airlines 鈥� realized the initial mistake when it started getting calls. The pilot made another pass around 5 p.m. with the correct message.
