"Maybe NYCT needs to negotiate with the union to put in place a rule that only aggressive, particularly skillful T/Os are allowed to pick the southbound Lex in the most critical 90 minutes of the day. "
You have the germ of a very good idea here: only the most experienced and skillful T/O's and C/R's, as judged by their train handling skills, should operate trains on the Lex and on Queens Blvd lines, because those lines demand the most skilled crews. Less experienced or lower-rated crews can operate trains on lines where "Top Gun" crews are not crucial. Green crews can pick up experience on those other lines, where the inevitable mistakes (tuition paid to improve performance) will not make as big an impact.
