126 flights cancelled = only 4% of their daily operation???
It's impressive how many flights they have daily after you do the math.

No wonder they yank so many inebriated pilots out of the cockpit; there's
not enough time for them to sober up. <g>

LOL! You're right though Marcel, 3150 flights per day is a hell of a lot. I
guess, also, that being a low cost carrier (the model for most others, in
fact) they probably don't employ enough technicians to do all the necessary
inspections. That's what I read between the lines and it would be par for
the course with a lot of companies these days.
