ii) "Compare" both in numbers and in severity?
The number of affected passengers sounds in the right ballpark for six weeks' worth of cancellations.
Of course it's nonsense to suggest that the effect on every one of those passengers is comparable to the BA meltdown. It's not like 300,000 passengers are going to roll up at the airport expecting to fly, only to be told on the day that their flight isn't going.
