I’m gonna guess you have no idea how many people “have” to fly Spirit. Would you be offended if someone called you poor? The majority in this nation don’t even make a 3rd of what you do. If you’re a pilot that is. Being part of the upper middle, can skew one’s view of what’s affordable.

Still not enough if that’s going to continue to be our target market. We need more people that buy tickets on airplanes to choose spirit. We don’t have that hence why we don’t make money. To get people to fly on us we have to sell tickets at a loss and hope to make it up scamming them with fees later. It’s not happening. Planes are fulliah but still not profitable. We need more demand so we can raise prices. Except when we raise prices demand goes down when you sell a garbage product. You have to make it up in customer service like southwest does. We think we can yell at people and have them waiting a half hour for a gate and an hour for their bags. Not going to work.

Exactly this! ^^^ Spirit is the most hated airline in the world and the most hated publically traded company in the US. This is what happens when you sh!t in your customers mouths for the better part of a decade.

Wonder why Ryan can’t die purely from customer dissatisfaction. Pilot discounting themselves seems to make up for it.

Our management did this and refused to adapt when forced to look in the mirror. Merger has been dead for two months and still no adapting. Same story. They WILL get retention bonuses to pull the plug on the ship and watch it safely sink. Watch
There is no way a 200 plane airline that owns nothing is too cumbersome to change strategy on a dime. Mismanagement period. Zero leadership.
