They are stuck on regional jets so they are a regional.
Hey Toilet, you redefining the way an airline defines itself as a regional, national or major? Its how much the company makes not what type of aircraft they fly you bonehead. You redefining the way you fly an ILS approach based on how you feel that particular day too?

Major carrier = Annual revenue of $1 Billion or more
SkyW 2006 revenue = $3.11 Billion = major carrier

guys come on..................do you really think EXpressjet, and MESA, and SKywest are "major" airlines. I know according to "Major" by definition but its because they are feeders, not flying on their own lets be serious, well Expressjet is but obviously their revenue at first isnt gonna be that high

lets just hope xjt doesnt turn into another ACA -good luck

Do you seriously think Delta and United would still be around if it wasnt for SkyWest and Mesa? What crutch besides the federal govt do you think they've been leaning on??

You serious???? anyone that you can break 60k a year as an FO hows that sound, oh yeah and one that has a/c that carry over 100pax and dont have the name EMBREAR or BOMBARDIER in them, hows that sound? Legacies and Nationals in my mind thats what I consider a major airline. Ill go in order for ya from top to bottom

The better of the majors...
UPS
FEDEX
SWA

The OK

AA
DAL
NWA
CAL
UAL


The "I cant get hired at any of the above so Ill go here for the time being"

Frontier
Midwest
Airtran
Spirit
Jet Blue
Alligiant (might even be better off at a regional)


The dangerous

North American
Kalitta
World

I am sure i forgot some.....feel free to add
