Actually Spirit seems to be thriving, and Frontier is recovering from its near brush with death.

Allegiant is doing extremely well, and they even charge a "convenience" fee for booking on their web site!

Respectfully, I disagree. I think the 'exceptions' are the ones that don't charge the fees. 'Most' do.

Oh, they already do. I redeemed my "last" AMEX generated DL miles on CO flights and had to pay a $ 50.00 "partner airline fee".

I personally think it's stupid. If they must charge for the 2nd bag internationally, set it to $25 like domestic. I wonder which airline will be the next to implement this. I'm betting either United or US Airways.
