I disagree. Airline seats are a commodity. All else being equal, people will generally buy the cheapest seat. Spirit has the lowest CASM, so they could easily have the lowest overall prices (including all the extra fees).
Spirit (and Frontier) are both retrenching. They are reducing their markets served, and adjusting their flying to more flights per day to fewer markets. That prevents the issue of your one flight a day being cancelled and being stuck for another day. Consumers will buy the cheapest fare, assuming they believe it will actually get them there.
Spirit and Frontier merger would fix a lot of the scale issues that each individual airline is dealing with right now.

This model in this country at any sort of real size is never going to happen. Allegiant stays in their lane and that’s why it works for them. It’s a niche business. Most Americans hate it an will pay a little more to fly a legacy or southwest.
Get with reality. This place is getting sold or going bust. Organic attempts at growth or combination with Frontier using the ULCC model is a certain death.

The koolaide is strong with this one. What planet do you live on? Do you know anyone that actually buys tickets on these airlines more than once as a trial run? Everyone I know has only done it because they know me and I said they really should give it a try. After that they all said it wasn’t for them.
