More flights have been cancelled, 54 by my count, - straight from ba.com:

British Airways plans to operate 293 out of 347 scheduled flights to and from Heathrow Terminal 5 on Saturday 29 March 2008.

So they cancelled 36 (you say) on Friday to create a "firebreak" to sort things out, and as a result things were obviously so much "better" that they've had to cancel more flights to make another firebreak on Saturday.
