On Dec 30th at 6:29pm Flight 347 from La Guardia in NY to Myrtle Beach SC I had the displeasure of meeting on of Spirits finest as I was boarding. A flight attendant named JULIE who told me I would have to check my carry on as there was no more room in the over head compartments. The plane was only half full at this point with many passengers behind me. As I stepped onto the plane not 5 feet from the entrance I saw a bin with plenty of room for a carry on then another and another. So how could JULIE know that the bins were full when she didn't even have look past her nose to see. I refused to give up my carry on which was well within the Spirit Air spec's stated on the website. I had only a carry on no knappsack no extra bag just my ONE carry on as allowed in my purchase. JULIE proceeded to yell out that "If you don't find a place I am taking your bag". Of course there was room and of course she didn't try to help and above all 15 minutes later 4 passengers boarded with carry on's and a place was available for them in the overhead bins. So how could this be? Well JULIE is either incompetent or just does not care about us! So good luck to all who fly Spirit because if you happen upon an attendant in her 40's about 5'4" auburn hair look out it could be JULIE!
