Flight Delays, Some Anecdotal Empiricism

This is completely anecdotal, but in flying around North America in recent weeks I have had fewer departure delays and more early arrivals than at any time in recent memory. I’m regularly getting in 10-30 minutes ahead of schedule, which can’t be because the prevailing wind is always pushing me in the right direction. I’m guessing it’s because there are simply fewer planes jockeying for slots.
