They non-rev on other carriers mostly because the Spirit flights are full.
Sounds like somebody got turned down. Put down the pipe and re-apply in six months.
I can only speak of personal experience from when I briefly commuted out of FLL. I regularly walked over to the SW and JB terminal to commute home on them rather than fly Spirit because I knew they would be reliable and friendly. They didn't view me as just another pain in the ass, but greeted me with a smile even though I was not a paying customer.
Full Spirit flights were never a factor in my mind as I knew I was virtually guaranteed the jumpseat if need be.
