Both of the problems I encountered seemed to be real.

In the DTW-SEA instance I'd boarded early and chatted with the captain during the delay. He'd noticed an indicator light during the checklist and called in the mechanics. They had the engine cowling up for 30 minutes before they called the ship a no-go.
