Delta used to.

Back when they had the Orlando minihub they would always hold the dozen or so last of the day flights to the 'nearby' Florida airports for a reasonable time so that all passengers connecting on the incoming wave would get home. About 30-45 minutes was the longest delay.

And nobody complained because the next time it could be them... Screwed up Delta's on time stats but reasonably so.
