I believe Flagship came from back in the day when they were Express I which merged with Express II which became Pinnacle which bought Colgan than Mesaba which merged into Endeavor after being bought by Delta in Chapter 11. They were the first regional for the original Republic Airlines (1979-1986 which was purchased by Northwest which was purchased by Delta). Not sure how exactly they arrived at Flagship though, there are still some guys on the list from that time that might be able to tell you.
