ID is a TSA thing, not an airline thing. If you're traveling on small air taxi services (like Grant, Frontier Flying Service here in ANC) or small commuter airlines (Era, PenAir, again in ANC) that are exempt from TSA security screening and are not located behind any type of security checkpoint, you can fly without ID. Thus, ClimbGuy is correct in saying you don't need ID to fly. You just need it to get past security (which dgwright pointed out is possible to get around, too).
