As for their business model, it seems to work for other airlines such as Spirit and Ryan Air. Besides, there are countless full-fare airlines that couldn't make their business model work.
Frontier also charges "fees" that have nothing to do with the gov't. They're not really fees at all.

Under new management (AirTran's former CEO is now in charge), Spirit has actually moved away from "fire sales." There are no "save 75% off" fares at Spirit these days. They certainly have some low fares, but are not doing the type of nutty promotions that Frontier is offering.
