While driving by PHL this afternoon, I could've sworn I saw a US Airways Express ERJ-145 climbing out with the new paint scheme. Was I seeing things or was this from another airline? (UA maybe?)

It was probably a UAX E145, the two liveries look similar from a distance (white top, blue bottom, blue tail).

I looked at the schedules and there wasn't anything unusual and all of the IAD flts were CRJ's.
Could it have been this Delta Connection flt

It may have been N281SK, I saw that one at the F gate late this morning. It many have been one of Chautauqua's hybrid/neutral ERJ-145s. Those have a whote fuselage with a blue tail and engines.

it could have been a transtates airlines which is painted in new US airways livery. I took a flight to RIC last week from LGA and this newly painted bird was parked next to the ERJ that I flew on. I did get a good look at it because we didn't use the boarding bridge.

Quoting FCYTravis (Reply 12): They have a few (5?) left operating under an at-risk contract, flying out of PIT, mainly.
8 ERJs left, flying 44 daily flights. J41s all gone.
Trans States does all the flying on PIT-RIC/STL and some of the flying on PIT-BDL/BWI/EWR/LGA/RDU/SDF and LGA-RIC. Obviously, the flying nowadays largely revolves around the existing TSA crew and maintenance bases.
They also did BOS-RIC until a month ago, when Chautauqua took it over, don't know if it'll be that way for good. (As with all of its pro-rate Express agreements, US reserves the right to take the markets for itself if it wants to.)
TSA has also done some of the weekend MYR/SAV flying at times, but not at the moment.
Quoting Jmc1975 (Reply 13): Do know by chance know which US Express carriers are "at-risk" and which ones are "fee-per-departure"?
Colgan, Air Midwest, and what's left of the Trans States operation are pro-rate; everything else is capacity purchase.
I'm the expert on here on two things, neither of which I care about much anymore.
