    And I stand by it! This may set back 's efforts to improve their rep, but in the long run, this is a blip.

    Spirit Airlines has canceled 1,600+ flights since Saturday. tells me Spirit’s reputation could take a hit, but it won’t impact business long-term. “Eventually, people forget when the ticket price is right.”
