Turns out it was an ex-Northeast captain's last flight before retirement. A nice touch, but did they get the callsign wrong?!
Northeast was the amalgamation of 'BKS' and 'Channel'. I can remember 'BKS Yankee Delta' becoming 'Northeast Yankee Delta', the 'Yankee Delta' being the aircraft's (Trident 2E) 'last two'.
