I believe that you are thinking of Southwest Airlines. They are HQ'd and
Love. Spirit Airlines is HQ'd in Miramar, FL.


Weren't they started in Dallas at Love with T Allen McArtor as their CEO?




According to their webpage, they started in 1980 as Charter One, based in
Detroit. 1992 they changed the name to Spirit Airlines. In 1999 they moved
to Miramar, FL.

I googled T Allen McArtor, and it shows that he started Legend Airlines out
of Love. Looks as though they shut down Dec, 2000.
