If you're looking at a 10 year horizon I could probably argue that Spirit offers more as you have a pretty low chance to flow on an E3, but for a quick buck, some fast jet PIC and an adventure with AA bennies? They got nothing.
Honestly, the more no shows the better, then we get out of bottom feeder status.
