If you look at the thread by that analyst lady you actually see that at almost all the majors, the feed provided is broken down into a common setup. One or two 'better' regional's such as Skywest/XJET/PNCL/Eagle do the VAST majority of the feed, typically 60%+, sometimes over 80%. Then the remaining feed is broken down in small amounts to one or two crud product RJ airlines such as CHQ or TSH/GJET. Its clear their product is not something the mainlines want representing the express/connection/eagle brand, but they do want them there to whipsaw and keep the others in line. I dont think you will see GOJET become the main provider anywhere for that reason, and they may soon be approaching the end of their growth as they are maxing out on what they can do. Not to mention soon those pesky employees are going to start asking for something at least equal to EVERY OTHER RJ airline.

AMR has an RFP out for 255 large regional jets. Just a rumor, but I've heard AMR is not even considering TSA Holdings due to past American Connection issues with TSA

Oops, I meant they had 60%. I wonder if "more expensive" is why that percentage changed.

Comair is one end of the spectrum, Mesa is the other end. A regional finding the right cost balance while maintaining a decent quality operation will be best positioned to succeed.

Nevermind that TSA can't staff the, what, 18 airplanes it currently has? 255 is LAUGHABLE for the size that even all of TSH is.

Bigger doesn't mean better(Mesa), but it seems higher quality, more expensive regionals, are given a larger share of regional feed by mainline partners.
