I've worked in Floriduhhhh for the past couple years and took a lot of flights from Long Island/New York and Detroit to there. A lot. At times our company travel person would have to book me on Spirit until I went to her and told her that the next time she did it to me I would put spiders in her desk.
So now I find that this pay dispute has been going on for years. I always figured that the reason it was no frills, the worst seats in the industry, always late, always dirty or just slightly unclean, whatever, was that they were paying their employees too much. Not so.
