Thanks for saying this, I’m really tired of hearing the “airlines are banks” idiocy repeated so often it’s accepted truth. Airlines are in the business of flying people on airplanes. The credit card/points component is certainly important, but our end of it is still about operating airplanes.
But I digress; love, respect, and good luck to our Spirit brothers and sisters.
