regional
[ree-juh-nl]
adjective
of or relating to a region of considerable extent; not merely local:
a regional meeting of the Boy Scouts.
of or relating to a particular region, district, area, or part, as of a country; sectional; local:
So we certainly fly into different regions than we departed unless you consider DFW and Calgary as the same region or DFW and Montreal the same region or how about ORD and JAX the same.
Add the fact that we fly the same type rating as they do mainline, with literally no difference other than passenger count.

Does GRR-ORD flts by mainline AA count as a short flight, or a Regional Flight or a commuter puddle jumper?

I agree as well. ALPA & mainline benefits the most from this system.
These are the reasons why scope choke is important. Regional pilot groups should never don’t want to see regional growth... i.e Skywest, Envoy, etc.
