This is just not true.
Go look up a route right now between any legacy and either frontier or spirit. with bags. and hell throw in a coke per person per leg at $3.
If you find a flight where it's still cheaper, I will eat my words.
Last time we flew BWI-DFW it was $640 per person RT on american, $120 per person on spirit. even IF all 5 of us checked a bag AND brougth a carryon AND bought a big front seat AND got 3 alcoholic drinks per flight, it was still WAY cheaper.
This was November 2021 FYI.
