Last mechanical problems I expererienced was a malfunctioning toilet IAH-SFO and faulty baggage door latch LAS-IAH. I’m not going to extrapolate that to “What’s with all the mechanical problems on the IAH flights?!?”.
I've experienced multiple mechanical issues at other airports (loss of cabin pressure, faulty flight computer, toilets, etc), but the HNL based crew said this issue had happened a few times and it's usually a quick fix. I only fly in/out of HNL 3 or 4 times a year, but they made it sound as if it was a regular occurrence.
