Again always full but yet we keep sending half full planes down to Central America and base 90 pct of our business model in MCO and FLL… there are plenty of other destinations we can serve that don’t have to flow through FL but yet the upper mgt refuses to budge from thinking that FL is only place our passengers want to go…try to fly to the Pacific Northwest and you have to go through Vegas? Why???? Management doesn’t care and the people who figure out our routes need to get their head checked. Friend wanted to fly from DFW to MSY on our 1 flight a day, but to get back to DFW they had to connect through FLL… no wonder people don’t fly on us as management makes it impossible to travel,to/from destinations other than LAS FLL air MCO without it being a pain i the butt. Rant over flame away if you must but until Spirit stops thinking the world revolves around over saturated often weather limited FL they will have a hard time turning a profit.
