At that snapshot, possibly. Some of them are things like "ACP knob loose" or something equally minor that requires the mechanic to come out and tighten something or decide to MEL it. The neat web page we have to look at it is close to real-time so it could concievably show more a/c out of service (waiting for a writeup to be cleared) during a hub turn bank (my newly coined term?).
"ACP knob loose" won't be on there as long as "Left engine no rotation on start," obviously.
It also doesn't show a/c in heavy check or paint.

I've found those info sources, when all the data correspond, is waaaay more accurate than a call to dispatch or scheduling
Oh yeah... if ATW doesn't call you, your duty day starts as published - it can't be adjusted without positive contact.

There was a Comair -700 (yeah, it was a while ago) parked at the AWAC hangar in Philly... similar situation, it was broken hard and it was the most convenient place to put it. It also supplied plenty of rumor fodder for a couple days.

That's why one wants to add and use things like FlightStats, Flightaware, the AA web/app and the OOS page - and if you're really saavy or paranoid, MCWeb.

Stuff has been getting cancelled in DAY the past couple weeks as well from what I've heard. And to be honest. I've heard people in management say we are having a staffing issue, and I've heard other in management say, "we're actually over staffed". So which is it? Sometimes I think they don't even know. All I know is we need to be hiring more than we are if the plan is to not park airplanes and keep taking deliveries. And people don't want to come to PSA when our pay is now some of the worst in the industry. It was okay when our pay was decent and upgrades were happening left and right. But the game has changed (again). And our management doesn't seem very adept at keeping up with it.
The only decent thing we have is a SAP. That's it!
