19 Easy flights cancelled in one day

From the BBC...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2172537.stm

"Passengers with low-cost airline Easyjet are suffering delays after 19 flights in and out of Britain were cancelled.
The company blamed the move - which comes a week after passengers staged a protest sit-in at Nice airport - on crewing problems stemming from technical hitches with aircraft.

Crews caught up in the delays worked up to their maximum hours and then had to be allowed home to rest."

The company isn't commenting further... but that seems a lot to lose due to the quoted reasons.

Is the rostering too tight? Not enough crew, full stop? Amazingly bad luck? Is this sort of thing going to happen often in the cheap seats?
