Dinner Conversation

So yesterday, the wife and I met up with some of her friends to have dinner at Claim Jumpers. They lived in Vermont while going to school for a few years so there was some catching up to do...

One question that I asked them half way through the dinner...

Me: "What airline is Vermont's regional airline?"

Them (including wife): "Huh?"

Me: "You know, like Southwest is the cheap regional airline for here, what's Vermont's?"

Well about 15 minutes of them trying to answer my question it came out that jetBlue was Vermont's regional airline.

I did the research for you and found the following airlines are for regional flights...
* Allegheny Airlines
* AmericanConnection
* ATA Connection (defunct)
* Bonanza Air Lines
* Continental Connection
* Continental Express
* Delta Connection
* Frontier JetExpress
* Frontier Airlines
* Midwest Connect
* Midway Connect (defunct)
* Mohawk Airlines
* North Central Airlines
* Northwest Airlink
* Pan Am Express (defunct)
* Piedmont Airlines
* Southern Airways
* Southwest Airways (renamed Pacific Air Lines in 1958)
* United Express
* US Airways Express
* West Coast Airlines
* America West Express (defunct, now operates as US Airways Express)
* American Eagle (extant, for detailed information about the brand refer to American Eagle, as discussed under Executive Airlines operations, and American Eagle Airlines code-share operations inherited from TWA Connection)
