Silent Bob, very true. I won't be making that mistake again.
Bah, I stand by what I said in my last post. In fact, after reading about the attitude of the Spirit CEO in the infamous erroneous email he sent out, you sound exactly like the type of unsympathic, insufferable pricks that Spirit apparently looks to hire in their customer service department. It's at least comforting to know that you won't have a job for much longer, as any company that has such shoddy customer service practices will undoubtedly be going out of business eventually (this is based on the countless number of complaints I've heard about Spirit on this and other message boards, btw).
The point is that I've been in similar situations before when my flights are delayed and EVERY other airline I've flown did 2 very basic things: updated their arrival/departure board, and made announcements throughout the terminal in regards to the flight status (3 things actually, as they call people to the gate when they haven't boarded yet shortly before departure). Delta, Continental, SouthWest, they've all done this.
And for the record, we WERE at the terminal and they did NOT make any announcement. This Chilis had their tables pretty much right in the walkway of the airport, within 15-20 feet of another gate. We heard multiple, multiple announcements for other flights but nothing was ever said for our flight. I'm sure you won't believe this, but you weren't there, so quite frankly you don't know what the **** you're talking about.
I now know for the future that the Spirit company is a shining symbol of incompetence, from top to bottom. If I ever make the mistake of flying them again, I'll make sure and sit within 20 feet of the gate no matter if it's a 3+ hour delay, since they're incapable of providing the same basic services that every other airline provides their customers.
