There are 757 as new as built in 1999, until you know the reg# on that plane, one cannot say the plane is old or new.

You were only experienced 1.5 hour delay, which was really minor, and basically it would catch up most of the lost time once it get airborne. Afterall, you still seems like getting good service from the crew, and you even get E+ (I am guessing you are not status pax as you don't seem to be a frequent flyer). Then what airline are you going to fly that has absoultely 100% no delays and mechanical errors ?
A 1.5 hour minor delay for one flight already made up the mind of a pax to switch carrier seem quite pathetic.
