Four CHC-AKL cancelled today 31 July 2022

So NZ have cancelled 4 of the CHC-AKL flights today. Apparently its for a "variety" of reasons including engineering. Consequence is that all flights running 100% (presumably oversold) , making it a very profitable day for the airline.
Am I being cynical that the airline for some of the IRROPS NZ is using covid related matters as a cover to simply fill flights by cancelling others? To cancel four flights on a day on one route makes a mockery of their schedule. I suppose since its a Sunday they think they can get away with it.

Also of course with scheduling like this which seems all too common right now, it kind of makes flexi time a bit pointless.
