Mods? How about a name change to this forum? Start a trend; The Outsourced Contract Forum?
I have suggested just that. Edit to clarify: I only suggested that we change the name of the forum to accurately reflect the airlines being discussed. Clearly, there's not much regional about SkyWest, for instance. And several "majors" are indeed limited to regional areas.
So, I'd call it "Contracted Airlines".
