SKW for example will routinely "delay" a flight up to 24 hours or even more, flying it empty when they can finally find a crew just to avoid a cancellation on the board. Majors let them do it...

But that's changing in a couple years, the law is already passed, so majors will own the operational performance of their regionals, and have to report it as their own.
