Scabs my ass!! A scab is when you go on strike and they step into your shoes and do your job.
NAS is a LCC where as UA/AA are major legacies with completely different business models.
Legacies make money of their premium product and cargo so your argument does not hold water. As NAS has no business or first class they are not affecting your rates at a legacy.
UA for example are only competing with NAS with regards to economy seating and that boils down to just basic competition. US majors need to stop whinging all the time and improve their product.
