Anyone who says that the snack box is better than what they receive in Y is making the same argument that Banquet frozen dinners are higher quality than a can of sardines and crackers.

And the funny thing is that a nice plated "snack" has such a low cost when done at high economies of scale. The FAs are working regardless. Do I dare say that they are yet to cut the highest expense for them in an F cabin, personal real estate?

Does Spirit still have the "Big Front Seats" but with the Y service as advertised? Because that's basically what this was.
​​​​​​I flew F on an interisland flight on Hawaiian recently. I really wasn't expecting anything other than a nice seat and an extra bag allowance. Seemed "First Class" to me.

UA and other airlines aren't hiding what you get. If it isn't worth the extra fare, travelers can decide not to fly it.
