If you have to cancel a percentage of flights it also makes more sense to knock out some of those that the airline serves several times a day in the hope you can at least get some disrupted pax to their destination on a chosen day, or even, in the case especially of domestics/destinations close in in Europe giving them the chance of traveling by alternative modes of travel or other shorthaul carriers.
