I agree, I'm am impressed how seriously Spirit is taking this issue. It's not getting brushed under the rug, as JS initially tried to do anyway. Thankfully at least a few reasonable people work in Mirimar.
Like anything else with Spirit, it comes down to money. It is not like they are looking out for our personal safety or safety of passengers, they are concerned with the liability of it because they realize it is a real threat. Imagine a significant event taking place and the lawyers step in representing Spirit employees or passengers at all A320 operators. This could turn into a huge class action lawsuit. Sure, it would be against the manufacturer, but individual airlines could be named in the suit. Spirit taking action on this now limits their liability.
So again, NKS does the cheapest thing all while paying us 40% less than other airlines.
