If the OP's flight was this morning, it looks like it landed about 30 minutes behind schedule and was a Air Whisky operated CR2.

I've mainly flown mainline AA flights and the last broken engine on a mad dog found me canceling and walking down the concourse and booking on UA, whom I last flew a few years prior, quitting after 15 or so years of patronage when Sky West's maintenance deteriorated to the point our EM120's were going mechanical nearly every time I flew them. The last one was in the air (engine failure) so, heh, self-preservation kicked in.

While it's AA's livery on the side, 2W provides the ride and crew. Air Whisky hasn't exactly been a stellar provider, if reading FT over the years is any indicator. However, the plane did arrive and only 30 minutes late, if it's 3370 this morning. I could live with that. Heck, I grew to like it.
