Was the rhetorical second question really necessary? Please enlighten us all about how exactly does the OP’s request for regional flight numbers is “another thread that thinks the world evolves around the US”? Please tell us exactly how was he supposed to word his request?…
If you have no interest in helping the OP, stay out and keep your unhelpful comments to yourself. Thanks bud.

There are other gaps in there that AA is saving on an as-needed basis.

"Regional flight numbers" doesn't mean "US regional flight numbers" does it......
My point is, the thread was made under the assumption that everyone thinks it is US based. Regional flying is not a US only thing. Regional airlines are everywhere, from the UK, to China, to Australia.

To the OP:
At Air Canada, the flight numbering sequence goes as follows:
Air Canada (mainline): 1 - 15XX
Air Canada Rouge: 16XX - 19XX
Air Canada Express: 7XXX and 8XXX
I hope this helps. Cheers.

As an example:
The relationship between Loganair and BA is just like any other codeshare, so the number is the same as other codeshres and operates as LMxx or LMxxx.
On the other hand, KLM cityhopper or LH cityline are so interlinked with their parent company that flight numbers are shared.
An example of this;KL1293 is the night stop AMS-EDI service which is normally some form of 737,
KL1277 is another AMS-EDI service that can be anything from E175, E190, E295, B737.
most services on KLM and Lufthansa can be swapped to a regional aircraft without much fanfare as such flights can vary day to day between regional and mainline aircraft.

Interesting tidbit, thanks for sharing. I wonder if people who paid for premium seats on LH or KL get upset being stuck on a regional jet, that I am simply presuming doesn't have the same type of seating?
