This isn't anywhere near being close to accurate. Ever heard of Chautauqua Airlines (aka American Connection)?

And incidentally, American Eagle is composed of several former regional contract carriers who were merged together under ownership of American. So your solution would be to merge PSA, Piedmont, Air Wisconsin, Mesa, Chautauqua, etc etc etc into one airline owned by USAirways? Sounds simple enough...
