Lances_Looky_Loo on May 3, 2026 4:27 am I was just gonna Ask Jeeves about Spirit Airlines so this has been a tough day.
PrinceofSneks on May 3, 2026 4:48 am I worked there for 3 months in 2001. We had an empty fish tank with a Post-It that said “We’ll be back when we turn profitable!” It was very sad.
