That's right, you haven't been here long enough. You sure jumped on the sloper whine-wagon PDQ.

Oh, did you see their earnings for the last 5 quarters!
I just checked prices on three city pairs for 5/13. All NK flights had a $35 bag added. All non-stop. Lowest price flight selected. Prices below.

DFW/DAL to LAX/SNA WN $202.98 NK $143.09

DFW/DAL to ORD/MDW WN $221 NK $143.09

DFW/DAL to FLL WN $222 NK $173.09


What NK prices are you comparing to WN to get 25% more?

Those bags of peanuts and a small cup of drinks are not free. That's the reason for the price difference.

If you're gonna compare please use the same cities, not some co-terminal logic. I also stated there was a carry-on bag fee included in the equation as well. Nice try! Same scam as Spirit's web site.

Nice try what man? What are you getting at? You continue to just verify what I said. Spirit has created multiple revenue streams over SWA.

Here at F9 we are getting the same sentiment from management, It's sad. Keep fighting for what's right, I do believe ULCC is the future model, but we should not be compensated as second tier.
