Afternoon and evening flights are more likely to be delayed than morning flights.

Flights involving ATL, MSP, LAX, DTW and SLC are less likely to be delayed than flights involving LGA, JFK, BOS and SEA.

SkyWest operated flights are less likely to be delayed than Republic or Endeavor operated flights.

Flying is a game of chance.

2.1% is not the correct cancel rate for Delta. Generally they are less than 1%. In Aug they were at a 99.1% completion rate.
