'Don’t be afraid of mechanical delays!'
She added: ‘So one particular flight, there was a mechanical delay. I remember it was a full flight and what was at first a 30-minute delay, it just kept getting pushed back further and further.
‘Eventually, passengers start getting cranky- especially since the crew does not usually give the gate agents much info because we never want to make guarantees on anything. ‘So by the time the third hour rolled around, I had a group of irate passengers demanding answers I didn’t have.‘At this point, they informed me that the delay was because the latch that holds the trash cans for food service in place was broken. Meaning these trash cans were not secure which creates a huge safety risk.
‘The part needed was at another airport, which needed to come in on another inbound flight – the part came in about an hour after this- and we board about 30 minutes later.’Sharing this on TikTok, the clip racked up 81,000 likes and hundreds of comments from baffled users.One person said: ‘I once had to de-board a plane and wait an hour because a tray table wouldn’t stay up.’
One person said: ‘I had a flight delayed several hours because the little sunshade visor in the cockpit was broken…for a night flight’.
