A buddy’s sister posted this from her flight….

 

I present you….Spirit Airlines!

ABC would be on the left side, and if the picture was taken looking towards the tail the letters wold read CBA. 

In short, while the picture may be real of some bus somewhere with some questionable cosmetic work, it’s not a Spirit Airlines A320 model.

Friend's late night American flight to Vegas was cancelled last week because the pilot said he was too tired to fly. Pilot also apparently proceeded to argue with passengers at the gate for 30 minutes after announcing this. Dude got no hotel room and was told the best they could do was a flight 12 hours later.

Also I am pretty sure none of the Spirit placards are in fucking German.

I’m on Delta flight to LAX that took off out of Gate 1. 
The next gate (3 I think) shared a desk with Delta and was an AA to Miami that was due to leave at 5:30. 
At 5:12 a couple of folks walked up looking to board and were not happy they’d already pushed and taken off. 
I could hear AA gate agents providing the exemplary customer service AA is known for.

I'm Platinum Pro on AA and ever since I made that, I basically do whatever I want once I'm booked.  Recently on DTW to DFW and that flight was going to leave an hour late, making the connection tight but doable.  Went to the app and picked a later flight and got the first class upgrade.  Got to that gate at DFW and there were 15 stand by's.  They prolly put me on there at the expense of someone in Group 15 or some shit.

I see some Spanish, but that would be expected. 

I don't know if you've seen or heard most Spirit Airlines passengers, but Spanish ain't the issue.  Most of them don't even speak English.  They do, however, claim to speak something called 'Murican, which near as I can tell is some pidgin amalgamation of myriad southern dialects, muh freedom speech soundbytes, and a slightly more formal syntax they use when appearing before a family law judge.

Not to be a bitch, but is that admirals club in AUS near gate 22 the only one? Geez.

The only Admiral's Club? Yes. It's super undersized and it gets incredibly overcrowded in the late afternoon before the BA LHR flight. American had announced they were going to build a new club on the concourse level around gate 15, but have apparently scrapped those plans in favor of building it in the mezzanine of the western gate expansion similar to the Sky Club in the new eastern gate expansion. That's going to be years off so the current Admiral's Club will continue to be a cluster.

I see you’ve never set foot on Spirit Airlines. But I do appreciate the attempt at humor.

I haven't flown 'em yet.  But I'm sure I will.  I gotta fly and swim with the white trash before I can put 'em on trains and busses.  

That’s what I mean. It’s an ultra low cost airline and not a white trash airline. It would be very safe to say that all varieties of of melanin are represented on a given flight and that the white trash segment is far and away the a minority on many of their flights. 
 

It is what it is. I hitched a ride home on them the other day. Downloaded some entertainment and enjoyed the lack of pretentiousness in the cabin.

AA late last night, BPT, gear down, flaring for landing, “yeah it’s foggy, we can’t see the runway, we’re going back to DFW.” Cancelled.

Which is somehow why I’m sitting in the golden nugget in Lake Charles right now, eating a steak on house money.

That sounds like the opening sentences of a compelling story.

After the whole SWA shitshow, I’m done with them. Flew Delta from Hobby to Albany, NY and was quite impressed. Disappointing that they only have 3 flights a day out of Hobby and only to ATL but oh well. If I fly east coast, I’ll fly delta. If I go west, I’ll go United out of IAH. 
 

I had companion pass for 3 years with SWA but just can’t stand them anymore. Terrible planes, terrible clientele, very ugly stewardesses.

The airline pisses me off now and I’ve had better AA experiences. The flight attendants are generally bitchy.
