"We're trying to cope with the overhang from yesterday's problems and to do that we've cancelled 36 flights in order to create more capacity," said BA spokesman Michael Johnson."

I guess that works because some people don't immediatley rebook? A chap on News 24 said his flight, due to depart tonight, was cancelled so he rebooked for 8am today (eg 12 hours earlier). Brave chap. He'd had a mad dash to the airport and was calling from the gate. Had been told at check-in he had 8 mins to get to the plane, ran all the way only to find no gate staff, and an hour later still no staff.
