They take lost cost to another level, they're even titled Ultra lost cost carriers (ULCC) by most airline segmentation rankings I see, which is a step lower than Southwest which is a LCC.
I'm sure you can get great deals, and I know people who will happily spend the lowest possible amount on flying and be perfectly happy doing so. I'd rather not, my concern is more so around corner cutting for other important factors like safety. Whether or not anything has happened, I just don't want the cheapest thing for certain activities in life. Be it medical care or flying, those aren't the things I want the cheapest of.
