There is no such thing. There are scabs, those who cross picket lines. I would have thought you would at least glean that knowledge from the Flying the Line Books.

Don't demean the definition of the name by misapplying it.

Some cluless millennials, seeking approval from the adults, throw the term “scab” around the same way they throw their multi colored sunglasses on the glare shield.

OK, you don't don't understand how commodity pricing works. I assume you don't bother looking at gasoline (another commodity) prices at different gas stations when you fill up.

Dude, reread. I clearly stated more seats between London and NYC than British Airways (or any non-US carrier, for that matter - which I did not state).

Here's an article confirming it: https://thepointsguy.com/news/norweg...transatlantic/

How many daily flights Norwegian does today, with them paring back their schedules, I don't know. They're almost dead anyway; if their secondary offering goes poorly, they'll blow through their bond covenants at the end of March.
