    Same clientele, quality of equipment, employee competence, and service.
    We’ve written 100,000 words about Spirit but this was all that was required.

    Ft Myers Florida is precisely where the Spirit clientele would wish to go too.
    Wrong, the typical Spirit customer goes to Miami or FL to show off their 300 lb black ass and fool themselves into thinking they are “attractive”. Then they fight with the desk clerk when the flight is delayed or cancelled as Spirit is known for.

    Spirit Airlines has announced plans to furlough about 330 pilots by January 31, 2025, in a bid to cut costs amid financial difficulties. This decision comes after the airline previously furloughed 186 pilots, highlighting ongoing challenges in managing debt and operational expenses. Additionally, Spirit will demote 120 captains to first officers as part of its cost-cutting measures.

    The airline has faced financial strain following a failed merger with JetBlue Airways and has been unprofitable in five of the last six quarters. To improve liquidity, Spirit plans to reduce its flight capacity by 20% this quarter and by mid-teens next year. The company is also selling 23 older Airbus aircraft for $519 million, expected to generate $225 million in liquidity. These steps are part of Spirit’s broader strategy to stabilize its financial position and address upcoming debt maturities.

    Nothing personal, but on a site filled with a history of poor advice, this may be the worst.

    Buying stock in a company opening discussing bankruptcy is the best way to join them. Spirit stock is now being delisted and is WORTHLESS. Shareholders lost 100% of their investment. Just another reason to buy S&P 500 funds and sit back and watch your money grow over time.

    I was thinking they will bounce back under Trump, recover and then be worth something.

    That would be a new stock offering under a new name and symbol after bankruptcy and a totally different discussion. You may be right on that theory but it does nothing for the current stock owners who are out 100% of their investment.

    don't worry, DEI hire Butt Plug Pete Buttigieg will have all these delays and cancelled flights fixed up in jiffy.... if only there was some sort of warning that this was gonna happen and he could of got out ahead of this....

    If you are a male of average height or taller, you should always get the Big Seats or the exit row on Spirit. Otherwise you simply won't fit. The 28" seat pitch makes it a sardine can even for short people, but for men 5'10" or above, it's a disaster.

    For that reason, given that I'm 6'2", it's not even an option for me to fly Spirit unless I got Big Seats or exit row, even if I wanted to cheap out and tolerate being treated like gutter trash.

    Druff been subscribing to Dalys travel blog.

    The above is 100% correct.

    1. Big Seats up front
    2. No layovers
    3. Any problems use the whatsapp chat feature. Do not try a real person for help or you are fuct

    Spirit is fine until it isn't.

    Delayed flights aren't really the complaint. You're just flying with trashy people, and you're treated like trash by the staff. And the seats are really small. Not sure how tall you are, but I couldn't fit unless I got the "big seats" up front.

    I've seen a lot of people on poker social media, who swore for awhile by Spirit because of the price, make the inevitable "OMG NEVER AGAIN WITH SPIRIT" after something went wrong. Usually it had to do with lost luggage, some kind of reservation issue, or some other kind of customer service fail, where Spirit was absolutely awful.

    To me it's not worth it. Though I understand the allure for people who fly a lot, such as poker players who travel for tournaments.

    I do travel a lot (use mostly allegiant and spirit ) I also found an algo hack they have on tuesday nights after 1am where tickets revert back to bottom price.

    yes ,I'm only 5 9 so the leg issue isn't a problem for me but you are right on most other aspects .

    I have just ran good on them so far

    Flying Spirit usually comes down to 3 types….

    Broke and down on their luck
    Don’t travel enough to know better
    Cheap as fuck and say “how bad can it be”

    As they say, Fuck around and find out.

    The problem with Spirit and Allegiant is when they have an issue, you are often screwed for days because they don’t have the infrastructure to get you out quickly. The majors have multiple flights a day in and out of an airport and can get you on a flight later in the day unless it’s a weather issue at the airport with multiple cancellations.

    I know multiple friends who just had their flight cancelled with these 2 and Frontier where they were told sorry, here’s your money back. And then they have to purchase a last minute ticket on a regular airline for 20 times as much or wait days.

    As you said, you are running good so far.

    As usual you missed the point. People like myself love Spirit Airlines, we don't want white trash and down on the luck shitbags on mainstream airlines. We want them flying on Spirit so they stay away from American, Delta, etc.. In fact, I think there should be government subsidies to make air travel for free for those making minimum wage, I'll warmly pay a a airline tax if we can give someone a free flight a year to keep them from sitting next to me on a flight.

    And once again you are trying to present yourself as someone you aren’t.

    So IF you flew legacy carriers enough, or understand how to game the system, you wouldn’t be risking trash sitting next to you except in very rare occasions. You would have status and get Premium Economy seats if not upgraded to FC for free. Whereas the trash you talk about rarely if ever pays the additional fees for these seats.

    But I would expect a dude like you to be flying First Class and being the ass clown that complains when an economy passenger comes up to take a shit in “your” toilet.

    Then again you are the guy that takes his family out to dinner at McDonald’s and limits them to the $5 value meal. Speaking of white trash!

    Where exactly did I say I take my family to McDonalds for dinner? Where? I merely pointed out a family of 4 could eat at McDonalds, rather easily for under $25, which I proved, after you said it was impossible without sharing a burger or something. Now, I am not Nostradamus, I merely posted the deal McDonalds has been advertising on NFL games since August. I really have owned you since you left Druff's sister site, some site about slot machines in Vegas, which you and Karen Nathan know a lot about. And Mickeycrimm too. You need to go back to the other site, work on your skills. You have clearly embarrassed yourself over here. This is the big leagues, take your loss and try to get better. Although that not might be possible.It's a shame Milton did not track 20 miles north, than you would not have any internet in the high school gym shelter and that would be that.

    Again wishing harm on someone once again showing your true colors.

    Still not understanding homes are built now to handle direct hits by hurricanes, but when you get your info from Weather Channel hype it makes sense.

    Owned me? Big leagues? This is a shithole just like Druff’s other site. He knows it, we all know it and we are why they are shitholes. Stop trying to make this place be something it’s not. There is maybe 20 people left that post more than once a week and that’s pushing it. It’s a bunch of guys making socks, talking to each other using them and thinking it’s a funny inside joke. Fucking strange actually.

    But you believing this is the “big leagues” again says more about you.

    Now back to coach buddy!
