Airlines have tended to be less transparent on their web sites as to delay reasons in recent years. However, with some data access you can still get to the reason coded in the airline's systems, such as with the flight status feature on ExpertFlyer. There may be some other sites that do similar.
Not sure which specific CLT-HTS you're referring to, but AA4812 incurred a delay yesterday:
PIEDMONT AIRLINES AS AMERICAN EAGLE
CLT 620P E36
HTS 749P
7CLT/AUTO REACCOM DLY FLT COMPLETED SEE N*P1AA4812CLT17AUG *2006*CRCYMG
3CLT/ETD2045 CRL-DELAY DUE TO CREW LATE ARRV TO A/C *1948
4CLT/OUT2053 OFF2116 *2017
2HTS/IN2220 *2122
So that was clearly a crew delay, even if a plane was in CLT. Unfortunately EF only can go back as far as the prior day, so I can't check a delayed flight from past weeks.
You can easily see which airports are incurring ATC delays and why on this site:
