This thread has had nothing to due with the lawsuit for quite sometime. It is best described as the rumor network.
As for filthy planes I totally disagree. Having DH and commuted on them COUNTLESS times I would say they are some of the cleanest AC I have flown on. Having a 3 leg commute coast to coast really lets you experience different companies. I would put gate agents at Spirit in FLL in line with AA agents in DTW and Delta agents in ATL or even Alaska agents in SEA. I have been treated terrible by gate agents at every company, including SW, and I have also been treated great by gate agents at every company.
The lawsuit is over. I didn't pay much attention to the results but I believe we lost the fight on door closure vs wheels rolling. But I was told the schedules in JAN all have 4 days off so maybe we won that one.
As for purchasing something while non-reving... I never had to. All it takes is a hello to the FA and I'm a pilot with Spirit if you need anything just ask and they take good care of you.
I am answering all of your questions. If you feel like beating down Spirit for some unknown reason, please address the more important issues. Like the lack of leadership in our pilot group or the inability of management to communicate anything with any other part of the company.
