Until Compass says "Compass Rose", Horizon says "Horizon Air", Frontier says "Frontier Flight", and Spirit says "Spirit Wings", and Caribbean says "Caribbean Airlines"....."Eagle Flight" will be "Eagle". Because those are the official ARTCC callsigns for those airlines and they dont say them verbatim.
We get in trouble for not saying Eagle Flight. Garbage...!

Hey, for a regional, at least your call sign matches the paint on the plane... You're probably one of the only regionals flying in their own colors not outright pretending to be somebody else....
Rode the Delta Shuttle a few weeks back.... turned out it was Shuttle America or some other RAH creation.... never once did I hear anything except "welcome aboard the Delta Shuttle"... heck, even Colgan used to include at the end "....operated by Colgan Air." By the way, after having ridden in the back of that E170, I agree, it is NOT a regional aircraft.

Thats because for some reason the company does not allow the crew to say "operated by Shuttle America". THey changed it last year, and I don't know why.
Speaking of callsigns, ours at Chautauqua is Chautauqua. Its fun to say! Try it! (You might be one of these days anyways Just kidding!
Of all of those airlines you just mentioned "Eagle Flight" is the only one that if you leave off the second word you get a call-sign for another company... that being the Secret Service. And that's why ATC occasionally gets on you for saying Eagle when you are "Eagle Flight". That's the word from ATC.

Continental does not allow us to mention ExpressJet in any way, shape or form while flying for them.
