Airline rules for Children
The best site is http://www.airsafe.com/kidsafe/kidrules.htm
But there are many others. Here is a quote.

You must contact the airline directly before purchasing a ticket for an unaccompanied minor.
Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so please check with the airline to confirm specific policies.
Age restrictions vary by airline. In general, children under the age of 5 may never travel alone.
Most airlines require unaccompanied minors services for children ages 5-14, and some even require it up through age 17.
Additional fees apply (approximately $25 - $90 each way) and can be paid at check-in.
For security reasons, most airlines do not allow unaccompanied minors to travel on the last connecting flight of the day.
The specific flights which may be allowed vary by airline, so check directly with them prior to making a reservation.

But if your sister is precocious you can just put her on the plane. They are not going to give you any static about her if she acts properly and seems to know what she is doing.


The Pink Airplane
Yes, she can - and gate escorts will be provided for her, too: http://www.alaskaair.com/as/www2/help/faqs/ChildrenTravelingAlone.asp

Since she's 14, you aren't obligated to pay the unaccompanied minor fee, but someone will still meet your sister at the gate to help her find her next flight, if needed.

Hope that helps. :)

I flew to San Diego from Washington and I'm 13. And I was alone.
EDIT: At the time I flew, I was like... 11?

im pretty sure

children travel alone all the time, they are called UM's or Unaccompanied Minors. The parents have to buy the ticket and arrange for an adult to pick them up. There are probably consent forms involved.
