I just saw a comment on FB where someone referred to @SpiritAirlines as “Walmart with wings”. I personally thinks it’s more of a combo of K-Mart and Piggly Wiggly, but I’m [Skull] and crossbones either way

I think it has something to do with the price of an airline ticket being less than a bus ticket. Southwest Airlines is a Walmart with wings.
