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.
I haven't worked for Spirit that long either, and granted, I don't spend a lot of time at the gates or ticket counters, but since when is our customer service so bad? From what I have seen, our agents exercise a great deal of restraint and patience in dealing with irrational, angry passengers. Every company that has ever flown a paying passenger in an airplane from point A to point B has its haters, but there are plenty of people out there who understand and appreciate the Spirit product and will continue to use us in the future.
