I don't think it's quite that simple Looking at Wednesdays in S23, the arrival and departure times are scheduled to be:
EWR 0805 - 0940
ORD 0825 - 1130
BOS 0835 - 1335 BOS aircraft goes out to JFK
YYZ (AC) 0835 - 1015
MCO 0850 - 1110
JFK 1005 - 1035 JFK aircraft goes out to BOS
ATL 1005 - 1205
IAD 1045 - 1230
A >65 minute delay to EWR and a >30 minute delay to AC, and everything else arriving on schedule, would see all of the above on the ground at the same time. There's also QR DOH 0650 - 0820 and WestJet YYZ 0905 - 1025.
