Who said it’s WiFi? Isn’t this at 11?

From a press release:

Spirit Airlines Wi-Fi technology partner, Thales Group, a global technology leader for decisive moments in aerospace, defense and security, and transportation markets, is bringing the high-end Ka-band HTS (High Throughput Satellite) system onboard the aircraft. The technology will bring Spirit Guests high-speed web browsing and streaming experiences similar to what they would find at home. In 2021, the state-of-the-art technology will get even better, with the launch of SES-17, a new satellite operated by SES and built by Thales Alenia Space, which will increase speeds and coverage to an unprecedented level in the industry. Spirit Wi-Fi is projected to provide service coverage immediately for 97% of Spirit’s routes upon entry into service.

Wow! The opposite of “monumental” - it’s actually EXPECTED by travelers these days... Not impressive at all.

Did anyone go to the Spirit Support Center wearing black and yellow? And if you did, how big was the press pool? Did you cheer and clap as obnoxiously possible when the announcement was made?

Maybe at the next monumental announcement and press release we'll get power receptacles in the seats!
