when an early morning flight is canceled due to weather, it's not necessarily because of weather that particular day. the inbound aircraft may have been cancelled the previous evening and is not available where it is needed the following morning. with ewr being a continental hub that may not have been the case, but it's always possible, airlines don't always, but do sometimes have spare aircraft available and it's possible they could have just swapped it out. but it appears as though they didn't have an aircraft of the same type handy in ewr the day of your flight. airlines don't cancel flights due to volume or lack of passengers on a flight. I sent a flight out with 10 passengers on it the other day, so in all reality CO probably cancelled the inbound flight the day before and the aircraft wasn't available for the first flight out that's probably why all the other flights went out fine that day without any problems. I don't work in CO's operation control center so I don't know what happened exactly, neither do you, and neither does anyone else on this forum, all we can do is speculate and give advice and tips based on our experience as to what we think may have happened.
