They're canceling about 30% of their flights, although usually the long hauls are preserved while short haul service that goes several times a day is most at risk, although of course the carrier needs to have pilots that are qualified on the right aircraft report to work to follow this plan. In a sense, it's easier when FAs strike as they're normally cross trained and qualified on every aircraft in the fleet.
