I know what defines them I mentioned that in my statement. The arguement is about realisticly why they are regionals. A definition of where to draw the line money wise doesn't say much. They are limited by aircraft size to regional aircraft.
Back in the day supercomputer=a computer that could do one billion operations per second. The definition has not changed however personal PC's have been hitting that mark since Apple's G4 processor. Do you consider your laptop a super computer? Or the simulator NASA runs that cost billions of dollars?
A major carrier might be by definition 1billion. However if SKW is a major carrier then why aren't they allowed to fly a 757? Why are they stuck flying REGIONAL jets?
