It doesn't matter if it's "express" flying or codeshare. Last summer, Miami Air operated our flight before the TRO happened. I don't want to see things like that again.
Let’s not get in a ****ing match with our brothers from other airlines. They mean well. Spirt flt 100 operated by WOW from BWI to Iceland with continuing service to points Europe. This will happen if we don’t protect against it. Besides the lack of DC southwest voted down their first TA because of this very thing. The company wanted Big concessions on their industry leading scope against codeshare.
Trans ocean ULCC is the future and we need to be a part of that instead of domestic feed for Norwegian
