There was an article in The Oregonian today that talks about the cancellations. I would post a link but I can't since I don't have more than 5 posts here. But, it says that the situation should improve around the end of the year. Here is a quote:

Representatives say newly hired pilots currently being trained to fly Q400 turboprop aircraft should graduate by the end of the year and allow the regional carrier to return to its normal schedule, which mostly offers shorter flights throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Edit: looks like asquared1 was posting the same thing and included the link.
