Biggest uproar I saw while flying for Spirit was when a young-ish spirit FO clowned it up while jumpseating with SWA. Horrified is the correct word to describe everyone's reaction.
Spirit knows what side their bread is buttered on. Treating jumpseaters with professional courtesy (and a free cup of whatever) is cheap compared to the benefit spirit pilots get jumpseating on OAs, and they know it. Spirit is very commuter friendly and it pays back hugely because everyone knows it.
