There are several other regionals and subcontractors that meet that benchmark... and they don't belong in the Majors section either.

RAH, Pinnacle Air Holdings, and others are a bunch of seperate airlines that happen to be owned by a seperate holding company.

They do not meet that annual revenue threshold unless you take all the revenue from ALL the seperate companies.

For example;
AA and AE each meet that revenue threshold by themselves, yet we don't see Eagle in the majors do we? and rightfully so, since they aren't a major, they're a regional... just like the RAH and PNC.

Frontier isn't a major anymore than Virgin America is; so owning them doesn't cut it either.

This thread belongs in the regionals section.
