MGW delay-share reading

The standout signal at Morgantown, WV is traffic scale: 1,529 BTS flights (2024–2025) place it #363 of 382 by book size.

Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (44.9% late-aircraft, 43.8% carrier, 5.3% NAS, 5.9% weather, 0.1% security). As a quieter airport, a single late inbound can swing the month more than at a mega-hub.
