Wow. If your offended by that, then really--hole yourself up in a closet. These so called "bloggers" post excoriating reviews about having to pay for bottled water on an aircraft. Is it an entitlement? Of course, they are probably from the generation where everyone gets a trophy mentality. I fail to see any of these bloggers compalin about the cost of ammenities like bottled water at a sporting event. Try going to a NFL or NBA game and telling the concession stand "I paid good money for this ticket, I deserve a free bottle of water." I went to the Ryder Cup last year and paid well over that for a bottle of water.
I have seen some railing against Spirit, as an airline amongst my group of friends or on Facebook.
ALL ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE WARNING: most of the people that I come into contact with that complain about Spirit, extra charges, extra fees, haven't actually flown on Spirit! How crazy is that?
Spirit doesn't serve my local airport, so most people I know around where I live haven't flown on the airline, yet they'll say how much it sucks because they add in extra fees and charges and such.
That's just my experience, others may vary.
