Add a free checked bag and a guarantee they'd never have to check their carryon. Board before the wheelchairs too.
Instead of whining about wrong-sized planes, we could actually FIX that. Pull out some cheap seats, add a few less really nice seats. Hmmm sounds risky to copy what pretty much every other airline including spirit does to make more money...
