Don't rely on cabin crew to give you answers on mechanical issues .. or delays. They know nothing...
I was once assured by the F cabin crew that due to a late departure from YVR to JFK that my connecting flight would be notified of our delay and that I shouldn't worry.
Of course when I arrived in JFK, UA had no idea that I was delayed and they had closed the counter. Lets just say that I was first out the aircraft, through immigration, customs and at the UA check in counter in 10 mins! Good thing both CX and UA use Terminal 7 in JFK, and since I was travelling in F on UA as they reopened the counter to take me on for my flight to LHR!
