That would certainly help our image!
I have witnessed some embarrassing comments, which I attempt to discredit with humor.
You could start with their bag tags clear as day in the overhead that says "barely fair".

Also and unrelated:
If you put something on the tradeboard put a freakin phone number with it!!!

So is the same thing that is happening in DFW getting ready to happen in FLL when SW dumps a bunch of capacity there next year?
Is there some federal law prohibiting competition in FLL that we are not aware of that you are?

Opening a new FIS terminal and attempting to run international in already saturated markets, especially when a lot of them are VFR ones is about as different from DAL as it could get.

I'd respectfully disagree with the crap product comment. We buy tickets on Spirit, the Big Front Seats can often be obtained for less $ than a regular coach ticket on a legacy. Even with the regular seats, it's a great deal. I've also heard nothing but positive comments from family/friends who have flown on Spirit. We're sort-of undercover shoppers since we purchase tickets instead of using non-rev benefits.

That barely fair bag tag is aimed at their contract negotiations I think. I fully support the FAs in trying to get a new contract, even though they seemed to be really fractured. I dont know much about what's going on, but I think they've been on the same contract since like 2009 or something like that.

I agree except the passengers don't know anything about that. All they know if they just paid a bunch for a bunch of add ons to their bare fare and then see a bag tag that says barely fair. See the message that sends? I didn't know it was a flight attendant bag the first time I saw and that's what I thought.

We had a hell of a lot of flight attendants walking with us in 2010

Your right on the message it sends, guess it's one way the fas are trying to put pressure on the company. I dont agree with it, but I'll stick by the fas.
