Of course. Who owns all those jets the regionals are flying? Who markets the brand, who sells the seats? Who used to fly jets of that size twenty years ago when regionals exclusively flew turboprops? Why do "regional jets" keep getting bigger and bigger until what used to be king (the 50 seater) is now being phased out completely.
They're not even regional airlines anymore, the transformation is complete.
