Spirit Airlines has added an “unintended consequences” fee to their airline tickets amounting to $2 / ticket fee because regulations now require airlines to permit changes to a schedule for up to 24 hours of booking without paying a penalty. 

It might highlight what Spirit doesn’t like about regulations but it is just punishing customers blatantly again and passing the blame off on politics.  The problem with that is that the public is more sophisticated than that and I question if Spirit isn’t just throwing a big temper tantrum in 2012.
