That was my reaction to this thread as well. What's the point here?
Also, canceling due to mx can be viewed as safety positive . . . I'd certainly rather they cancel rather than taking undue risk if there's any question about a mechanical issue.
FWIW, I haven't had a UA mx since last December. Of course, the problem with anecdotal reports is they are completely statistically insignificant.
