Not sure what that has to do with Kayak.com, (unless you're saying that for some reason you'd prefer not to search for hacker fares and be able to book non-direct...)

I doubt it.  If they're admitting to late crew member it's probably engine trouble.

I think Spirit has proven to be Az Panim, the bastard-child of all airlines.
