This does not matter for 2 reasons
1) People do not have a "mainline" option for most places regionals fly. Look at you and Colgan. If someone wants to fly to CLL, LFT, AEX, ACT...etc they have 2 choices, a regional or drive.
2) If the city is served by mainline and a regional (XJet and CAL for example) people will always pick a flight that has the lowest cost and the flight the benefits their schedule best.
Almost every passenger would book on whatever gets them there the cheapest and in the shortest time...period!
