Spirit Airlines had many detractors.
They're the hidden fees airline.
They're the number one in complaints.
They literally just left people stranded.
Suck it on your extra fees.
Spirit also had many defenders.
Spirit Airlines doesn't have customer service.
You don't pay for customer service.
Spirit always got me to where I needed to be.
I give them their gas money and they drop me off in Cabo.
And then over the weekend, it shut down.
Stranding passengers.
I just woke up to the text message that Spirit has literally shut down.
So now I have to figure out a way to get home.
I hope the people who have created this inconvenience for people like myself, they should ask God for forgiveness.
Breaking pilots' hearts mid-flight.
I don't remember any of the bad times.
Just the good ones.
