The condition of the jetbridge, and the airport as a whole, has more to do with the attitude of the people who run the place and less to do with Spirit. We just happen to fly to places within the US where it is culturally normative to trash the place (e.g. Baltimore, Atlanta, etc).
For instance if we dumped OAK in favor of SFO, you would notice a stark difference.

But hey, im not complaining. Talk to the F9 guys who don't even have jetbridges at many of their locations. This is ULCC. Expecting a ULCC to have 2 gate agents for every flight, clean jetbridges, clean planes etc; its the same as a passenger of ours paying $20 and expects free food, checked bags, and a meal.

Im willing the bet the jetbridges in ATL at the DAL gates are not the same as the NK jetbridges in ATL.

Honestly a lot of the non-fortress hub airports in the US just kinda suck in general, not that I am excusing Spirit from not properly cleaning the airplanes (whole different story there).
Go set foot in some of our international destination airports and the difference is night and day. Those people actually take pride in creating a classy experience for travelers.

People doing an act=costs money
Spirit/ULCC does not want to spend money
Deficiencies across the network continue.
You have been here long enough to know this company will not spend money on anything they dont think returns more money. They do not care about the product, only Bob seemed to care.
You can wish/expect all day that the company would do XYZ according to Noisecanceller, but at the end of the day, its about the money.
And in the end, I dont really care at this point anyways. House is on fire and we are talking about the dirty carpet upstairs and why little Timmy spilled juice on the rug. Approve the merger and fliush this product down the toilet like Pebbles the hamster back in 2018...Rest in Power, Pebbles

That I agree with...I will say its cultural and leave it at that, before the SJWs from the DAL forums come over when they see the bat signal illuminated, as there is injustive on the forums.

It's the cleaners
Just recently, I waited an hour to board an AA (regional) flight at ORD because a kid threw up in the jetway. The reason it took so long... nobody would come clean it. The cleaning company refused. When somebody from the cleaning company was finally forced to come out, he put paper towels over the puke and called it good. The Captain (who relayed the story to me in the JS) put his foot down at this half measure and good for him. The cleaner himself would not walk over his own work but expected the passengers to step / roll their bags over it.
My point? I don't think it has anything to do with Spirit. It's the same workers who half as$ clean the cabins, show up 20 minutes late with wheelchairs, etc. It's and Airport problem, not ours.
