What was the date, routing and flight number? Why was the flight cancelled?
Kind of a broad question.
If there is bad weather, for example, some people prefer to have the flight cancelled rather than crash. I'm one of those. But, that's just me.

Yea, cancellations are UA's M.O. lately.
This year UA has had 1 day of zero mainline cancellations; their first since 2013.
This year DL has had 100 days of zero mainline cancellations.
The difference is shocking and not flyer_friendly.

In Aug 2015 UA reported 0.9% cancellation rate for mainline only and about 2.0% cancellation for consolidated. You must be super unlucky to have a cancellation in all 3 trips.
ps : preliminary stats for Sept-2015 show an improvement to roughly 0.34% cancellation rate for mainline only, compared to 0.40% for AA+US and 0.02% for DL (I think because of rounding, DL will be forced to report "0.1%" instead)

having my daughter fly back to colorado springs regularly from school, i have noticed alot of her flights proudly operated by republic airlines seems to cancel and the reason has been blamed more on the weather side vs the no available crew/mechanical issues i have read about on here, downside has been that instead of waiting 2-3 hrs for the next available flight she gets the wife/siblings or friends to come up and get her but....the folks at den ua don't fix her reservation so that when she flies back to madison her reservation has been cancelled due to no showing to cos from den.

I flew four segments yesterday, including a 35 minute connection at ORD. All four of my flights left the gate on time and arrived early. I should go play the lotto.
