Once management was made aware that the 100.00 savings actually cost 200 more they stopped requiring us to stuff our fat bodies into middle seats on Spirit.

That doesn’t mean you cannot fly Spirit if it is more convenient for you. They just won’t put you on them. I will say, while riding on Spirit I was treated very very well by all of the Spirit employees.
