I understand the "un-bundled" aspect of the pricing model, but I wonder how long it will take for people to spend the extra money to fly XYZ airline because the lack of customer service... Adding to that, the customer service here is non existent. I don't care if you offer a la carte pricing or not, don't treat your customers like *******!
Believe it or not, I actually think this is a good place to work, I have been treated well so far. I just find it amazing how far apart the treatment of employees (pilots specifically) is compared to the treatment of customers.
Most passengers and travelers are stupid! They want to pay the least amount of money for their ticket, but then expect first class service and everyone has to kiss their butt! This crap doesn't just happen at Spirit, and they have "Boycott" facebook pages for DL, UA, etc. as well. It always cracks me up when a passenger doesnt get their way and says "I'm never ever flying XX again".' Yeah, ok, cya next week after you scored that $50 flight to Las Vegas.
This guy wrote an article not too long ago that is pretty spot on...
