Yes, over the years I experienced flight cancellations from time to time as the incoming flight was so late the pilots booked for my flight ran out of time left in their shift to operate my flight and no other crews were available. This happened too frequently for me on the last AA flight of the day (night) from PHX to ABQ. At least I received a voucher to overnight in PHX. Better safe than dead. Nevertheless I tried to avoid booking this iffy flight whenever I could although occasionally my earlier connecting flight was canceled and I was stuck with it.
