Airline call sign "Shuttlecraft"?

[soccerbyron]

Is anyone familiar with which airline is using the call sign "Shuttlecraft"? I have been hearing it for the past few weeks over the north central mountains of Colorado. Or maybe the starship Enterprise has returned from the future?

Shuttlecraft

That callsign is Shuttle America. Source is North American Airlines Handbook, from Airways Magazine. Airwaysmag.com Austin

It comes back to a listing:

ICAO Callsign: Shuttlecraft
IATA Code: S5
ICAO Code: TCF
Known As: Shuttle America
Full Name: Shuttle America
Country: United States of America

Looks like a newer company, Operating under United Express, which is a division of United airlines
you can find them at: http://www.shuttleamerica.com/

I hear "airshuttle" in SW colorado all the time, I know that is the small untied commuters, I have yet to hear "shuttlecraft" though. Does DIA have another new airline?

"Air shuttle" is actually Mesa Air operating as United Express shuttles and apperently "Shuttlecraft" is Shuttle America operating as United Express as well which could possibly be a new company since their website isn't even up and running yet.

I've worked both TCFxxxx (Shuttle Craft) and ASHxxxx (Air Shuttle) though my airspace at ZDC. Not sure who the parent companies are...but they both do exist.
