Tracking Regional Outsourcing
Per the McClatchy Washington Bureau, if you ignore all daily outsourced regional flights than SWA is the largest major airline in the US by number of daily mainline flights. More so than American, "Delta and United have a greater share of their total [daily] flights operated by regional partners."

We should really try to promote awareness on this issue.
Unions should be permanently tracking and sharing this information in a more transparent nature.
This will be a permanent subject plaguing our industry and I hope the moderators would make this thread a sticky. Better yet APC.com may benefit from a section of their website that directly tracks outsourced flying.

Number of flights is an inaccurate way to measure the impact of regional flying on mainline. Regional airlines are operating far far shorter flights than mainline. Delta's CR2 flying out of ATL averages 300nm per departure.
Block hours or available seat miles would be a far more accurate way of measuring the size of the regional sector vs mainline. If anyone has those number please do post.
