Spending extra $30-80 on a child (you can easily multiply that by 2 or 3 depending how many you have) that doesn't need carry on or a checked bag doesn't make any financial sense. That's me thought, I don't like to waste money.
I said they pioneered a niche, and it may get bigger. I didn't say US ULCCs are failing, I said they are not putting the big hub and spoke airlines out of business. Again, worst case, legacies convert more cabin seat rows to ULCC style amenities and cost... throw in some miles and it's competitive.
You of course, do you. But you're presumably a professional pilot, so therefore a cheap SOB
If you're a legacy pilot, sleep easy, they're not taking over.
If you're a US ULCC pilot, sleep easy, they're not going away.
If you're a foreign ULCC pilot... yeah you might have something to worry about.
