Staff are using alternative working arrangements and there is a pandemic going on, so they are not going to be as efficient as normal. It takes time to pull the flights for three routes LHR, NWR, EZE. I am sure they are working as fast as they and the systems allow.

This is patently false, availability and other parameters can be adjusted in seconds... and it has to be given the very dynamic nature of the business. Let's not make excuses for poor behavior. I am not quite sure what NZ's game plan is but their overall behavior thus far with regard to various issues is "seedy" to put it mildly.

Some airlines are doing that. Why are they not allowed to?

One would be slots at slot constrained airports. If cancel indefinitely the flight, slot goes back to the pool.
They have changed some slot rules at the moment, but guess that had a from/to date. Can cancel those flights at the moment and have it counted for 80% use of the slot.

Just to actually bring some context back to this thread and the discussion about LAX - LHR - Air NZ stopped selling tickets on the LAX - LHR route yesterday NZ time after the announcement was made that this sector was being scrapped.
(And this thread is specifically about that sector, not other flights or routes nor flights from AKL - LHR which are being discussed in numerous other threads, so I see no reason to bring discussion around that into yet another thread)

There are already multiple threads on here discussing AKL-LHR, DOT rules and cancellations. I don't think we need yet another thread to go off track and discuss that, it'll already be confusing enough for anybody trying to understand what is actually happening needing to read multiple different threads.
