Dang, when it rains it pours. Now on the return and the atl-roc leg has a busted rear stabilizer or something. I don't think I have had to deboard a commercial flight for mechanical reasons in ten years, and then twice on a single trip! Hopefully no passenger fights this time.

That's for sure! Despite the aggravation, I'm actually very happy with Delta's quick and efficient response to each situation, clear communications, and commitment to safety. They had new planes cleaned and ready to board within 3 or 4 hours of each problem, and kept us informed and happy with free sandwiches.

Here is another data point, 5/8 flight Atl-lim we were delayed an hour because we were told we were waiting on a part to deliver down to lima for another aircraft.
