I have had similar experences with TWA, it tends to be a real pain.
Usually they go out of their way to make sure you make connections,
but...I believe all airlines tell you to call the day before the
flight to make sure that the plane is going to be there when you
are.  The only time I had a plane cancelled the day of the flight for poor
ticket sales was an Alitalia flight from Rome to New York.  All the passengers
had to wait 6 hours for the next flight (which was also
half full) to leave.  As to reported mechanical problems, that
has also caused problems with planes I was supposed to be on, but usually 
they will bend over backwards to accomodate passengers, putting 
customers on competitor carriers, etc.
