Except that at Frontier you only need 20 segments for status: http://www.frontierairlines.com/fron...tier-levels.do

I do agree though that Frontier should reconsider their fees. Making the first bag free would be a good balance of helping customers but not losing all of the ancillary revenue. It comes down to if they think they can sell enough extra tickets to offset the revenue loss. I don't think that's the way they'll go though. I think you'll see frontier pushing the classic tickets even more going forward. I think their classic for $10 promotion last year was a great success and I would bet they try more promotions like that this year.
