It doesn't matter if you hired people while other airlines had guys on furlough. A scab is someone who crossed a picket line. Its that simple. If there is no strike, there can be no scabs. Using the word with any other definition cheapens its meaning. There is a reason old school mainline guys are so aggressive with their scab lists.
