I was thinking more of the additional time it will take to inspect every nook and cranny.

The charge is obviously because Spirit seems to target mostly leisure travel, ie, people with bags for more than a 2 day business trip. Personally, I hope Spirit loses their ass on this one.
This is the same ploy other industries use. "First time customers get this rate for 6 months" and you have been a loyal customer, paying your bills on time and you call. You're paying more. "Sorry, for NEW customers only." So, I change vendors. I become someone else's new customer. The vendors tends to rely on momentum and habit, not thinking.
Plus if more CUSTOMERS refuse to fly, that means more space for non-revs and less chance of getting bumped.

What about jumpseaters?
I've heard a few other mainline's/mainline partners when listing to non-rev on them (even though activated as jumpseater) for commuting purposes, that if they have the bags checked= $$$$
I've never flown Spirit, but i'm curious what the domino effect COULD become.
