MAJOR EDIT: woops, never mind, it wasn't clear that @indicolite22 was quoting Annie at first
With the greatest respect for Annie, I think she's getting bad info. I have checked the government website that tracks flights historically and it disagrees with her source.
If her source really knows what they're talking about, then basically they are saying that the government records have been falsified. That gets us into some really weird territory pretty fast, I think. That would be breaking news that we'd want Justin Lum and Nate Eaton to know about pronto!
Here's the government website that tracks on-time arrival/departure info by date/airports/carriers.
Summary Statistics Origin and Destination Airport
Origin airport: Idaho Falls, ID: Idaho Falls Regional (IDA)
Destination airport: Phoenix, AZ: Mesa Gateway (AZA)
Start Date: September 19, 2019
End Date: September 19, 2019
Do the search yourself (I can't link to the result directly), or I attached a pic below -- you'll see 1 flight from Allegiant (code G4) left ontime, arrived 9 minutes late. Zero flights cancelled that day. Zero flights diverted that day.
Either Annie has bad info or the FAA does. Sadly I suspect the former is more likely here, but I don't know exactly what her source was looking at, nor what their assumptions were.
