Spirit CEO: “The Greyhound of airlines... Can’t we figure out how to move up a notch or so to the Continental Trailways of airlines?”
isn’t Spirit Airlines the outfit that has straps hanging from the ceiling for those standing in the aisles?
I used to know a Spirit Airlines pilot likely affected by this.
Hope he is okay.
My boss’s son flies for them.
If you can’t afford to go anywhere unless you fly with them, it would be best to stay at home.
I really do not like how they price things. You literally have to assume you pay separate for everything, in quantities that aren’t apparent. For instance, imagine you pay separately for an online ticket, seat, water, every piece of luggage, and quantities of oxygen per fraction of an hour while on the plane, there’s a cost to use the toilet, a cost to board, a cost to debark, a cost for the walkway to and also from the airplane, etc. However, the initial ticket, without anything else, is $8.
What exactly is the joke of their operation?
Spirit has served me well for thousands of miles. Fewer issues than the big carriers. Extremely affordable transportation.
Looks like another job for the skanky U.S. judiciary’s “Dipstick judges” that have been hammering the President. They’ve got to forbid Spirit from laying these pilots off. “Temporarily for now.”
What airport do you fly out of mostly? That may have something to do with your experience.
Fort Lauderdale is the worst one. Never again!
One of my daughters flies Spirit regularly out of Orlando and has the same experience.
The furloughed pilots should apply for the in-flight referee jobs that (obviously) haven’t been filled yet.
Agree they don’t care about their clientele the went woke for a buck a bad business move it’ll be for sale soon.
I’ve noticed people boarding planes they look like street hobos and smell as bad.
Class is a dying issue in most parts of America by people excepting low satandard’s.
