Between strikes, weather, mechanicals and diversions; many.
My special flights were the 1 aborted takeoff when the engine had other ideas, 1 return to field, and 1 where the plane wouldn’t pressurize, but since it was a short enough and we had enough fuel to continue on bouncing around at 10k feet to our destination.
