Make a profit, by offering affordable fares to much of the flying public that wouldn't fly otherwise. It used to be called the Southwest effect, now it's called the Spirit effect. That's what they do well. Before ULCC's there were LCC's which have also done a great job making a profit.
Dragging feet on contracts? Is that a joke? Do we have go there. Damn near every legacy in the country has done that. Seems it was Spirit that paid higher 320 rates than just about everyone in the US after their last deal.
Delta most recently comes to mind on dragging feet and oh yeah one of the most profitable carriers in the country, SWA. Never mind UPS stretching out negotiations for 7 years.
Save me the nonesense.
