Default Bullsh*t from Spirit AIrlines

Go to spirit.com and you get a banner ad

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to the U.S. Department of Transportation's latest fare rules, Spirit
must now HIDE the government's taxes and fees in your fares.

If the government can hide taxes in your airfares, then they can carry out
their hidden agenda and quietly increase their taxes. (Yes, such talks are
already underway.)

And if they can do it to the airline industry, what's next?

As the transparency leader and most consumer-friendly airline, Spirit DOES NOT
support this new USDOT mandate. We believe the better form of transparency is
to break out costs so customers know exactly what they're buying.

What can you do to help stop this injustice?

Join us in keeping government taxes and fees low and transparent by contacting
your elected officials

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing prevents Spirit from showing the breakdown of the fare. They can no
longer hide the total fare.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
