we’ve obviously had/have our issues but the job here (and crews, Training dept, M/X, CPs) are all great.

I came here late last year from Xjet, and feel like I may be dodging a bullet. If I was still there I'd be looking at a downgrade and likely furlough or possibly a shutdown. Overall my Spirit experience has been great.

5 of the six flights I operated on the last trip had less than 10 seats open. Everyone was packed in there even the middle seat.
even the no mask wearers gladly plunked down (handed over the credit card) the $3 to buy a mask from the flight attendants when they were told they couldn’t board without a mask.
I have no idea how much people were paying for their fare, but we were carrying the normal bag loads it seemed for the number of passengers we were carrying and bag fees aren’t discounted afaik. And from what our FAs report, people are buying snacks and drinks... because people don’t have to wear the masks while eating or drinking... So the more bags, snacks, and masks we sell it helps our ancillary income, which is where we make our money.
people seemed grateful we were flying from what I could tell.

I wouldn’t be doing backflips and celebrating just yet, we are not out of the woods. ’Rona is back on the rise. Texas just had its most reported cases of it by about double. A lot of other states too.

We could end up right back where we were, with even more austere measures.

edit for the post below: ‘we’ meaning spirit, considering we are doing less than 150 flights a day right now whereas we had planned 780
