Pathetic? It’s a ULCC that’s pretty much serving up the same product as the legacy you work for. So what’s pathetic?

I see a lot of flinging mud from both sides here, not a good look for either group.

FWIW I do not think ULCC or Legacy share the same passengers for the most part.

It’s mostly from the ulcc guys. I wish them well and glad they’ve got good contracts now but it seems a few of them have a little short man syndrome going on lol.

All of our airlines have faults and just because some of us don’t see going to a Legacy as the best thing like ever, doesn’t mean we have bad attitudes or “short man” syndrome. You do you And we are happy to fly the people you don’t. More then enough people to go around.

Well played. The thing is, the average ticket fare on Frontier is less than half the price of United. A lot of people will gladly take the extra legroom and firmer seat to save hundreds of dollars. The reality of course is that we generally aren't competing for the same customer. Which is good for both of us.

Then why so hostile?

If I’m hostile, don’t get married haha Women have this quiet angry thing that is terrifying! For real though, more then enough room for Legacy and ULCC to operate.

Spirit and Frontier can fill a 321 with 228 & 230 pax on a 5 hr flight. It must not bother them that much. If you think it’s pathetic, you should wait for the next United, Delta or American flight. You obviously rode on them for a reason, was it a free ride or the cheap ticket?

Geographical differences
 

One thing you guys are not considering is that Europe is much denser then the US so the ULCC have an easy tim getting at the population for privately run secondary airports with low operating costs.
