Spirit is fine. The problem is people book them expecting the same service as Delta/AA/UAL and then get angry when they get what they paid for.
We took them to Florida a couple months back because the tickets were cheap. Perfectly fine experience, except no gate upon arrival and I’ve had that happen on other big carriers a lot.

I care. A lot. I'm sure at one time Braniff, Eastern, TWA, or Pan Am were better places to work than NW, DL, US, US, AA, etc. I want my carrier to keep making money and for my checks to keep cashing.

Long term quality product might impact growth (or shrinkage). Probably worth a few seniority numbers.
