How does a flight from New York to Atlanta arrive an hour early???
It's not that long of a flight, how can they make up that much time in the air???

It has to be the last leg of a longer flight. The time was made up before they arrived at the Airport in NYC.

Then it was a red-eye flight on Daylight Savings Time.
Are you hiring or something? This feels oddly like a job interview...

Well over 80% of the business flights I have taken have arrived early. Fewer than 5% have arrived more than 10 minutes late.
My suspicion is that there is a large amount of buffer built into those times in order to continue to show "good" "on time" statistics. There is also some variability with respect to landing at an airport that is not limited to the weather.

They probably build the schedule around worst-case scenario, e.g., long tarmac waits, head winds, holding before landing clearance, waiting for a gate, etc. Catch them on a good day and your flight suddenly seems to be considerably early.

Did you maybe switch time zones?
No I don't care enough to check.
