As you seem to be the unofficial Propaganda Minister of these forum boards, I find it necessary to point out that the information you are forwarding here from Flightaware is not the number of cancelled flights, as you claim. It is the number of flights that generated flight plans into the ATC system that were not flown.
For most of those "cancelled" flights (actually, cancelled flight plans), the company refiled the flight plans and they did fly. With UAL's new NOCC system many FLP are incorrectly addressed.
If 69 UAL flights cancelled today we would have heard about it on FOX news.

but thanks for the clarification.
Whatever it is, we seem to be at the top of the list an awful lot.
Since they aren't cancelled as the title suggests, I guess that ends this thread.
