This made me laugh:
Quote:
Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza said having fewer carry-on bags will help empty the plane faster. He said the idea is to get customers to pay for individual things they want, while keeping the base fare low.
"The beauty of it is they will do what they think is best for them and will now have the choice," he said.

Yeah, I guess that's one way to spin it. You now have a choice on which way you want to spend extra money to fly, when one of those choices used to be free.
I guess I understand the rationale (between this and Southwest), but the explanation is bit difficult to swallow - especially since Southwest is not charging for either option.
