I flew it a few times with the kids - its like $80 to go cross country and the planes are fine and new-ish.

It would suck if we went back to a world where you have to pay $600 to fly from Miami to NYC on a middle seat on United (which isn't that much better than Spirit).

the one huge advantage of the big 3 over all these shitty LCCs is that you're much more likely to actually get from point A to point B somewhat on time, or even at at all. LCCs have way worse on time rates, cancel flights way more frequently, and will leave you stranded and not rebook you. even jet blue is way worse than the big 3 in this respect.

It's weird that Ryanair can be so successful in Europe but LCCs and ULCCs are always teetering on the edge of going bust in the US.

Yeah

Even if you've never flown them, they helped keep prices down.

And it really blows for all their pilots and FAs. All that shit runs on seniority.

boomer spirit pilot celebrates w a water canon salute rofl:

Jon Jackson, a Spirit Airlines captain, was supposed to fly his retirement flight on Saturday, but his airline shut down before he could.

He hopped on a Southwest flight to get back to Baltimore from Fort Lauderdale. While on board, “we casually mentioned it to the crew,” his son, Chris, a Southwest pilot, said in a Facebook post. Southwest staff organized a water cannon salute when the aircraft arrived and he was met with applause and a reception when he walked off the jet bridge, according to the post, which was confirmed to CNBC by Southwest.
