I hope this public statement can allow schedule planners to take a much more conservative approach to cancellations.
Surely today is not the first day AS's management team has been made aware of the problems with QC at Boeing. They weren't so angry just a few days ago

Focus on their actions rather than their words.

They still need to come up with a flyable schedule. Once Presidents Day and Spring Break comes around, do they really want people waiting for hours on the phone to figure out how they are going to get home after their flights cancel at the last minute?

They were extremely lucky this happened during the very slowest travel weeks of the year but that period is rapidly coming to a close.
