Perhaps because airlines are tightly regulated in certain business practices.
Regionals are always (mandatory per FAA or DOT) "DBA Brand X Express". It's painted on the side of every single RJ.
I think since they are DBA and Brand X actually owns "Brand X Express" that might be your tie. Basically the government doesn't let airlines outsource liability, for very good reason... they wanted them to have some vested interest in the safety performance of their subs.
