The people at Spirit and Frontier actually believe their system will be the most resilient during the next recession. Spirit certainly did better than the legacies last time around.
When the price of oil goes up, do you want to spread that cost around an average of 80 passengers, or 186 passengers per flight?
Time will tell.
