We've always maintained a controllable completion factor that is around 99.8%. For example, month to date, system wide, it's 99.88% right now. That's with about 7300 flights so far. So I don't feel that the issue is with ex-envoy or ex-xjt 145s.

While I understand your skepticism, I know for a fact there were several airplanes that had only been here a matter of a weeks before they had serious maintenance issues and had to be replaced by a TSA owned spare. Several of them. And the XRs had more ice protection issues than any other after only being here a month or so. Like I said, TSA couldn't have screwed it up that fast.
