Delta's JFK ops were botched from the get-go. Telling YV to fly JFK-PVD @ a 4PM departure and block it at ONLY 40 minutes was just one flight. (The plane would still be in departure queue 100 minutes after push).
All around the F8 Dash 8 ops, while on paper looked like a great idea, was a failure regardless of WHO operated it. Even old TWE had on time/completion issues out of JFK back in the day. Add in YV to the mix, and even the highest trained YV folks still wouldn't have been able to pull it off.
Btw, those numbers for DCI carriers @ hub airports isn't completely accurate. Mesa has NEVER flown into SLC as a DCI carrier.
