Spirit Airlines Tells Dying Man…No Refund

Jerry Meekins is on a mission to change the No Refund Policy of Spirit Airlines.

Meekins recently purchased a ticket on Spirit, and subsequently was diagnosed with Terminal Cancer. It was his expectation, that under the circumstances, Spirit might make an exception of return his money.

Spirit responded that it wouldn’t be fair to bend the policy for him and not for everyone, and “we don’t do refunds and we are not going to issue Mr. Meekins a refund.”

Meekins and his friends are protesting outside Tampa International Airport, hoping to change Spirit’s blanket policy.

To be fair, Spirit is right. They can’t make one exception, because they’d have to make them all. But, Spirit is wrong. There are exceptions to everything, and this should be one of them.

    The management of Spirit Airlines is incredibly stupid if they think that this sort of thing will not have repercussions for them in this already challenging economic environment.  What were they thinking?  They should have just quietly refunded the money because it was the right thing to do in this case.  I for one will boycott them, and urge all my friends and family to do so as well.
