This is called "a buying opportunity". Doesn't happen often and the airline industry is very robust right now.

I wouldn't worry about US twitter whining, but China is a different matter. They will hold a grudge.

The victim is turning out to be a kook so there's not going to be as much sympathy as originally thought. It will likely blow over.

Kook or not I would even pick Spirit over United in my choice of airlines going forward. Luckily I am in a SWA/Alaska/Delta market these days.

Spirit is just slightly better than driving.

I prefer driving. Spirit is slightly better than a greyhound bus depending on the distance you're traveling, but only because you'd generally arrive faster with Spirit (although you have to factor in that Spirit can cancel your flight and you're SOL if you don't but the "insurance").

Yep. Their performance is too strong to think this is going to be some kind of long term issue. They'll correct it and move on.

Airlines are constantly in the news for this kind of stuff. I only realized this when I started working for one (not United).
