Cancellations at T3 this morning, April 28/19

Looks like at least four westbound flights from YYZ have been outright cancelled this morning. Apparently weather in Alberta (snow) and Vancouver (wind) are cited as reasons for cancellations...

I only noted this here in the forums as I've seen lots of weather delays in the past, but not very many straight out cancellations! Anyways, best of luck to all trying to rebook, etc.!

Weather can't be the reason for YVR. The only cancellations so far this morning are the 2 WS flights from YYZ AC is running their flights basically on time Plus WS hasn't cancelled any other flights into YVR.

And latest update...

My flight, ws707 was also cancelled. Gate announcements were that they "could not find a pilot". Delayed, then cancelled. All flights today and tomorrow, apparently, are full now, WS having rebooked the previous two flights on remaining capacity.

Sigh. I was SO hoping that my conscious shift to WS away from AC this year would have been better. As it is, AC just got a full fare one-way fare from me so I can get home.

Weather here in YVR is fine this morning. The wind settled down overnight.

That two of three cancellations this morning were crew related, and one related to upline weather in YYC.

Havent seen the WS707 expertflyer data but we were told that the pilot didnt show up, hence: cancellation. Jeepers.

Perhaps either commuting or deadheading or because of weather couldn’t get to the airport?

...sounds plausible. Unfortunate, but at least plausible.
