Arghhh. So by your example, should we ground every single airline that has a cancelation % of 1.2 or above?
Even the beloved WN cancelled 800 flights that month. So yes, reducing it to % in this high of a volume is misleading because that number is only 0.8% of the more than 95k flights they had.
My point is, flights get canceled for a variety of reasons. I don't think that a completion factor of 98.8% is bad in the industry. Regulation won't change that number. In fact, as I said, it's more near the top than the bottom.
