Two of my last three flights from Manchester (1730) back to Dusseldorf within the last two months have been cancelled . The last I believe due to cabin crew sickness . It was due to depart at 1730 from MAN and was not cancelled until 1850 and we were put on the 1930 flight , fine BUT . It was around eating time , BA wouldn't give any info and I knew that if we went to the restaurant and ordered food the flight would be called , so stayed hungry for the bread roll later . The way for a premium airline (self sold) to win customers , NOT.
