My daughter works for an airline, and says that we get what we deserve. When choosing flights how many people always pick the least expensive flight? (Almost EVERYBODY).
How many people stop using a particular airline when they start charging fees for stupid stuff? No one apparently as they are making millions from those fees.
So you get what you pay for. Congratulations- most of our airlines suck now.
And Spirit is pretty much the bottom of the barrel, so no surprise. They keep prices low by sticking it to their flight crews- thus the pilot slowdown, and cancelled flights.
