Right!
Take a look around the globe. The ULCC business model is here to stay.
Spirit airlines will answer every question you just posted.

Btw, are those true business model airlines the same ones that wiped out everyone's pensions a few years ago?
Are they the same ones that paid less than Spirit on the same aircraft after their last contract?
Or the ones that laid off thousands of pilots a few years ago?
Airlines with the same business model of TWA, Pan Am, Eastern? The old Frontier perhaps?
Or how about USAir where the pilots waited for the company to just fold for 15yr or better.
No problems and uncertainty? Right!
