You really need to work on your self esteem pal. your only contribution to any discussion is to squeek about who belongs in what category of an anonymous message board. BTW, Frontier passed the DOT benchmark of being a "major airline" about a decade ago. Get some therapy

So is Skywest and World... All it takes is $1B in revenue.

DoT classification is just that, a metric used by the DoT that is based solely on revenue. It does not apply to flightinfo. Does the DoT have a 'LCC' classification? How about Charter, Cargo, Fractional, Foreign, Aerobatic, Part 135? Those are flightinfo subforums, not DoT revenue classes. Two different things.

"National Airline:
A national airline is one that generates between $100 million and $1 billion in annual operating revenues. The national airlines tend to serve particular regions of the country; however, some do fly long-haul flights. Some examples are: AirTran, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, and Midwest Express."
