I did a double take as it seemed absurd, but there it was. There was no weather, no other delayed flight I could see. And you know all those passengers were getting nothing by way of help or compensation. Just “piss off and come back later”.

Thanks for the reminder, spirit. Next time I’m tempted to grouse about ancillary fees or plane swaps I’ll remember to count my blessings I’m not on spirit.
