A lot of this stuff was really politicized so yes, I believe it's possible to be anti-lockdown for bad reasons. This doesn't seem to be the case with this study though.

as much as people like to make fun of Spirit, it is absolutely ridiculously affordable and probably the closest the US has to a true low-coster. I love having that option. JetBlue on the other hand is a typical US cheap-service, no-food, no
