Odd as it may sound, crew are very unlikely to know whether a flight might, would or could have been cancelled. It’s simply not the case that all 20,000 crew have a direct line into central ops control - often they’re the last to know what’s going on. Same with the call centre really - things move very fast on days like today and ducks don’t always line up everywhere.

In any case, all’s well that ends well, and I’m glad you got sorted in the end.
