We get in trouble for not saying Eagle Flight. Garbage...!
Hey, for a regional, at least your call sign matches the paint on the plane... You're probably one of the only regionals flying in their own colors not outright pretending to be somebody else....
Rode the Delta Shuttle a few weeks back.... turned out it was Shuttle America or some other RAH creation.... never once did I hear anything except "welcome aboard the Delta Shuttle"... heck, even Colgan used to include at the end "....operated by Colgan Air." By the way, after having ridden in the back of that E170, I agree, it is NOT a regional aircraft.
