PSC delay-share reading

The standout signal at Pasco/Kennewick/Richland, WA is the delay mix: Carrier owns 51.9% of 317,718 delay minutes across 63,750 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 86.9% (7.9 pts above the 79% national average), with 8,357 delayed and 382 cancelled (0.60%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (19.4% late-aircraft, 51.9% carrier, 11.9% NAS, 16.6% weather, 0.2% security). Mid-volume books still show a clear delay fingerprint rather than a weather-only story.
