Spirit Airlines Sucks


Back in January I flew with Spirit Airlines. While I blame myself for being stupid enough to fly with an airline whose name implies the probable death of it's passangers, I have no one to blame but the airline for losing my luggage and then treating my like garbage before denying my claim (please read my letter to Spirit below)

But a small victory today and I read this: http://atlanta.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/2009/09/14/daily96.html

...Suck on that Ben Baldanza (Spirit CEO/Peter Griffin lookalike):

My Letter to Spirit Airlines

To Whom It May Concern:


Spirit Airlines lost my luggage 8 days ago on a flight from Costa Rica. I filled out a “Luggage Service Report” and have called daily to try to get this taken care of, and only heard from the local number yesterday. The woman told me she had no idea where my luggage was and that I had to deal with the corporate office, which I’d actually already left messages with as soon as I got back. I have heard no response. I called the sales office (let me guess, India?) and was flat out told there was “nothing I can do”. I’ve visited your website several times to complain but I get about 2 sentences in and your server times me out (I’m literally typing this in Word and having to paste it in the complaint box so I can get this in on time. This is unacceptable, and needs to be responded to IMMEDIATELY so I can file my claim with both Spirit and my insurance company. I literally had 90% of my clothes in that bag; let me paint you a picture of my life right now: I wake up in the morning and steam clean one of the two pairs of boxer briefs that weren’t in my bag (let it be known they were not cheap either). I then precede to squeeze into POLYESTER pants that haven’t fit since Bush’s first term in office, and roll up the sleeves on my dress shirt to hide the elbow holes. Unless you’re a hobo or MC Hammer, this is no way to live. Please respond to me as soon as you get this. I can be reached at (555) 555-5555, or via email at drunkenmischief@gmail.com.
