I could care less if Spirit cleans the lavs or not, but most pilots are seriously not happy with the business model. One mans observation.
I love the business model. I believe in it and I understand why customer service and a little aircraft hygiene have to suffer because of it. I've traveled around Asia and Europe and always bought tickets on ULCCs with the exact same business model and they are proven. Trains are dirty and smell like pi$$ and I still ride the blue line for 2 hours from MDW to ORD to save money over a cab ride or share van.
