More cAAncellations

Just when I thought I'd made my last AA-themed pun...

More AA flight cancellations: up to 1,000 flights yesterday, and some more today. Per news reports, expect even more tomorrow.

It's bad enough that American Airlines has to take planes out of service again... What's worse is that, yet again, the number of cancelled flights changed yesterday as the day progressed: in the morning, I heard 700 or 800. By the afternoon, 1,000.

So, does anyone really know what's going on here?
