Delay on September 3 AC18 TPE-YVR; Any insight into the flight remarks and the ETA?
10 minute delay before boarding, then we boarded and had a 15 minute delay due to an engine mechanical issue that needed to be checked, got the OK, crosschecked and taxied 50 metres, then stopped for 15 minutes after which we were told we are going back to another gate due to a second mechanical issue (electrical). Cabin crew pulled the curtain in front of J cabin closed for a minute while we were sitting in the taxiway - seemed there was something they didn't want pax to hear. We are now sitting at a satellite gate waiting for maintenance to do their thing but the look on the FAs' faces is concerning.
Any insight into the flight remarks and the ETA? Not a lot of communication and even the SDs (plural) seem a bit confused what to be doing. Really cannot afford being rerouted tomorrow so hoping for the best or to get re-routed on another carrier (paid J ticket, P class, no status).

Hi from seat 7A
Captain says its paperwork. Looks like thats not all it is....
After the mess on this trip where so far, 3 of our 4 AC flights had mechanicals and we have now misconnected and had to be rebooked onward from YVR, plus the last trip which had a similar mess and was an epic story itself, Im starting to wonder about my flying habits

What are the chances that 3 FT people would be on the same TPAC flight in the same cabin?
Apparently high. I'm amazed actually. I have to start shouting out when boarding flights.

Well, there were actually a few things going on, not the least of which was the failure of the generator and then the testing of the engine.
We finally departed TPE 3 hours late
Looks like my vast collection of TPE trips (and all the TPACs in general) on AC are exceeding expectations for never arriving on time.
I have some photos which Ill post when Im not in between flights. Lol?
