Say KL canceled flight XXX-AMS for genuine weather reasons. The incoming aircraft was due to operate flight AMS-YYY, but KL decided to use the aircraft for flight AMS-ZZZ instead because of the larger number of pax booked on the latter flight. The aircraft due to originally operate that flight went tech.

KL will undoubtedly blame the cancelation on the weather, but I wonder whether the affected pax on the YYY flight wouldn't have a claim to compensation (assuming the circumstances can be proven, of course).
