Locking bathroom doors

There is a story going around that Spirit locks the bathroom doors during climb and descent. I find this a bit hard to believe as things happen and people need the restrooms even at inopportune times. What are Spirits real procedures?

So back to the question. Are the bathrooms locked out? Flyertalk says yes but I find that hard to believe.

No, probably a MEL the the bathroom can’t be used on the ground until 16k ft.

I understand in some airlines in developing countries it is common for children to go to the bathroom (both #1and #2) on the side of the road, er ah, side of the aisle in the plane.

That is one way to get around the fees.
