    I am telling you no joke. Every seat on all of the Jets are leather as well. Seriously, I don't know how they do it, but it is for real. I would not tell everyone any of this unless I had done it myself. I have, we had a great flight and we are doing it again.

    Remember, you get what you pay for! There is no way they can operate at a profit with those prices, and the first casualty of this kind of pricing is maintenance.
    I know, I've been there. You have to hope that a critical system doesn't fail at the most in-opportune moment.

    I don't fly hoping, ever!

    Dude, get real. These are not all of their prices, only a few seets on a few select flights that they want to fill up. They are a very safe airline. My entire family uses them often, and none of has ever had an issue. They even have free wi-fi at the airport in the Spirit areas.

    They have only been around for a few years, using equipment that is not 100% reliable. I know a whole lot more, that's for starters. As for the wi-fi, I could care less. I do not judge an airline by the terminal amenities. I choose to view the planes, their airworthiness, crew capability and professionalism.

    Refer to the passengers on one of their flights to LAX, that had an issue with the nose gear, and had to make an emergency landing. They have had issues.

    Consider it a word to the wise.

    Whatever, they are using Airbus 319's which are smaller jets, but fine quality.

    Now as far as a problem with their nose gear, I am sure it has happened to other airlines. Maybe they need to get their mechanics some better training or replace them.

    Maybe you should just sit in your house and hide, because if you go out something could happen. You could get hit by a bus, a bird could drop a clam on your head, your regulator could fail because you were monkeying around with it. Crap, if you stay home, you might have a heart atack or something.....maybe you should go out....wait....um

    Ok for everyone else, go and see if they fly in your area, I am really satisfied with everything even at full price.

    Hey who knows, a Spirit Air jet could even crash into your house while you huddle inside. There's no safe place.

    Seriously though, a number of people from my dive club have used Spirit Air and have nothing but good things to say as well. I'm in.

    I bet even booking a flight TO where ever they fly from would be a cheaper way to do a trip.

    Oh yea' that is true. I usually book a trip because there is a great deal. As long as there is a place to dive, I will go.

    I have never considered such a stupid reaction, nor will I ever.

    Given the fact that I started working on aircraft 30 years ago, I may know a thing or fifteen about how these things are done. Also, what suffers when they do these things. I have worked for enough airlines (Pan Am and TWA to name two) to know what I am speaking of.

    AS I SAID BEFORE; "A word to the wise"

    I do however, know better than to think that an airline profits from selling a seat for such a pittance. If a deal is too good to be true, than it is too good to be true. I do not doubt that they offer these fares.

    Lastly, for those individuals who speak as authorities on aircraft, reliability, and such: ignorance is bliss, and I only sought to remove that veil of ignorance.

    Where are you going with this?

    Do you really think we should pay more because you think so? They have full price tickets on the same flight for over $300, so do the ones that pay full price get what they pay for?

    Dude, seriously I think you are throwing in your 2-cents just because you are in the business, however I really think you have nothing to say. Maybe you are playing the other side, because you are looking to stir things up a bit, who knows?
