I feel sorry for the weekend crews that got flights cancelled. I've talked to a few of my friends who benefited from this. They were on 4 days and got reassigned with a deadhead and/or ferry. The guys I talked to will end up only working 8 hours or less out of 20 and they still get paid for the 20 hrs since they were reassigned, they are protected. After a few years, I'm lucky to have never lost money yet from a cancelled flight (knock on wood)!
