Background information I am ex BA LHR but left BA for ATC some 20 years ago. So I know all about scheduling and what goes on in avaition etc I was just curious if anyone knew on the inside the reason.

There have been cancellations on both the 12th and 13th, and I'm pretty sure it's down to a shortage of frames. So I would certainly claim for this.

Correct, tech aircraft and no spare airframes.
