It still looks cruddy though.
RAH is a holdings company. Republic, Shuttle, and Chautuaqua are three different certificates.
CAL has scope so you can't exactly show up with a 70+ seat Ejet just because one of yours went down. They aircraft stay within their own certificate. However as mentioned CHQ flies for 5 different codeshares so either use one aircraft(two actually) to cover all five or get five different aicraft and pay an arm and a leg to have each one painted. Why waste millions of dollars?
