[bah humbug]

As it says under my user name, I am an airline emlpoyee, but I can assure you I don't work for Spirit. As an "airline employee" for any airline, we all go through the same thing day in and day out no matter what airline we work for. Passengers not taking responsibility.

I don't have to be there to know that everyone else got on the flight but you. You can not board a flight without making announcements. You were not where you should have been. It takes at least 30 minutes to board a flight. If you had been checking in with the GATE every 10-15 minutes, you would have known your flight was boarding.

I can assure you that no matter what airline you fly, there is always someone who missed their flight because they "didn't hear the announcement". It is not just a "Spirit" issue.
