Frontier Airlines is right when they say "it’s a whole different animal". They apparently stopped accepting cash on flights and will now only take credit cards for alcohol, DirecTV, or movie purchases. Also, the Captain called the other pilot his Co-Captain, which is a fine title, I suppose, but it sounds a little like their First Officers have thin skin and need the ego boost afforded by an inflated title.

I finally got around to posting a listing on Craig’s List about a week ago. It had one of the simplest identity mechanisms I’ve ever seen. Instead of having to create an account, all I had to do before Craig’s List considered me fully introduced was to provide an email address. A magic link was then sent to that email address. By clicking on that magic link, I could post my listing or to come back later to make edits.

OpenID would be the perfect middle ground between creating an account and their magic link email trick.
