Fly like that and bring your own sandwich and bottle of water- you were probably happy with the experience.

The bottom line is they didn't charge enough to cover their costs. No business is going to flourish like that. The 6pm "news" quoted SecTrans Duffy as blaming Biden, of course, for blocking the merger with Jet Blue. What would have happened if the merger had gone through? The Spirit honchos would have received a 7 or 8 figure "change of control" payout, while most of the workers would have been tossed as redundant to Jet Blue's existing staff.

Of course, we old phartz remember Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, Braniff. I actually flew on the Braniff 72 that had the Calder paint job.
