Others did too. I was just reading an article about it yesterday but I can't find it now.
What gets me about all this Spirit fee bashing is that we are still doing the same thing for way the heck less than all of you, while also making a good profit. Hey but don't worry about that! It is all about the free diet coke (I mean the half cup because God forbid to ask for a refill from the 60y old FA), the extra 2" that will still not fit an average dude, and the "bags that fly for free" with the cool anti gravity device for 2x the ticket price or for more.
Btw guess how many peeps will SW put into the new 737-800? They also did not stop the bag fees on Airtran. Hmmm...
