What is a domestic air carrier and who would be an example?
Am I correct in thinking a US flag carrier is American and American Eagle is their supplemental air carrier?
Im going to take a stab at this but I may be wrong....my airline does supplemental ops like sport team charters and such. These flights are operated based on different rules than our normal ops. For example, an alternate is always required on these flights, no matter what the weather. Domestic carriers are just that, domestic, like Southwest Airlines (I think) And a flag is more like American, or Delta, who fly both domestic and int'l.
Again, this is just my understanding.....
