Hummingbird, you actually talk good sense my friend. An aircraft has very strict slots for transit through European Airspace due to the volume of air traffic, as well as slots for arrival and departure. So in essence, you are correct, if an aircraft is delayed and misses its slot (wherever it is to/from), it has to wait for the next available slot, although it is not the reason for cancellation in this case

thank you I do worry people think i'm an idiot
