So if they are operating their planes (with far less than normal capacity), then they are losing money. I think WN and AA are wiser for advertising they are canceling the flights and rebooking passengers into available seats on future dates. Now they have the same revenue, but lower costs because they operated less flights. Smart business in my view.
