So annoying, at the hotel the other day Im talking to a lady and she said she would love our low fares but is "afraid to fly spirit". The negative crap in the media and being the butt of everyone's joke is annoying, especially if ignorant people just assume we are dangerous because we are low cost

^ hahah nice. I'm at the point where I just assume people are Fng stupid if they don't fly us. I understand we don't go to Europe etc, but if you travel domestically, I don't understand why you would pay more for the same Sh-t.........
The lady literally kept saying, "yeah but Delta gives me free drinks" and she didn't believe we had "new airplanes". I dunno, just aggravating.......

I'm embarrassed by the low class embarrassments we have at our hotels, and I'm talking about our own crews.
Want to change the image?? Stop being a cheap MF on overnights. The reason why hotel crews hate us? Cheap bastards.
CAs that won't break a buck out for the van driver. I am still amazed when I see this, seriously?!?! I see some hand a handful of lose change over. You know you're on a 4 day, get some singles or bum one from the other pilot and get him back on the next tipping round.
Tipping poorly is 1 thing, tipping poorly on the meal amount AFTER the discount is even worse.
I was thinking that most of this was from FAs, who are overall the worse with the above mentioned issues along with "I need a fridge" mania at the checkin desk, but as we stay at different hotels more and more now, seems to be a pilot issue too.
We can't do much to change the public image of the company outside of doing our job in a safe manner, but we can control how hotels view us. Don't want to be "those guys," so don't be those guys.

I tell them if they feel so unsafe they should go fly Southwest.
It's been a couple of quarters at least since they last killed someone.
That usually shuts them up.

^ ziiiingggggg, lol
You should not let these instances get you down. Besides the ad lib from comedians (Spirit Execs must love it anyway - no such thing as bad press), the rest is just pure ignorance.
Your average John or Jane Q. Public is so out of touch, so naive, sheltered, oblivious and desensitized to reality - their pets should "walk" them. You see it in the terminals, on the roadways, in restaurants and grocery stores: They walk like zombies. Danger shocks them into even more of a daze - to the point of paralysis. On the highway, they will faithfully follow the car in front of them right into a crash - because they're not paying attention. People are so caught up in the "suburban rat race" they've forgotten to look up (or around) - and think critically - they are walking victims.
So, to hear someone complain about an airline, or any product for that matter, is par for the course - they have nothing better to do.

It was really aggravating. We had to shuffle around rooms while guests where waiting because she needed a fridge.
Sorry, it's inexcusbale. I bring all my food on triips,even a 4 day and don't need a fridge. Canned fish/chicken, microwaveable rice etc........
Whats even more annoying is having to pay for the FAs dinner and alcohol because their credit card gets declined........it's ok they, they can call their credit card companies on their IPhone 6 to realize they maxed out their limit and haven't paid I. Two months. Absolutely embaressing...............
While I'm on a rant. Nothing ****es me off when a CA asks if I want anything at McDonalds and I ask for a coffee and he takes my dollar..........like really? I buy you a coffee at Starbucks, you don't offer me di-k but you take my dollar for coffee? Cheap f----
it's nice flying with the younger CAs, they seem to be on the same page and aren't anywhere near as cheap as the guys on the top of the payscale
Funny you mentioned this. We get Into Boston the day of the blizzard and literally at the front desk for 20 minutes because the Flight attendant NEEDED,ABSOLUTELY NEEDED a ****ing fridge.........
