Because mainline outsourced the flying to Colgan, they paid Colgan to do the flying. With Silver it sounds like a code share where Sylver will assume all costs and share revenue with the mainline by the mainline selling tickets on Silver aircraft. Slapping a United code on that flight, there is a difference between code share and outsourcing to a regional!!!
