More delays

We were just told that the new plane that we all ‘reboarded’ has a mechanical problem in the cockpit. The captain was so apologetic when explaining. We still don’t know how this delay will work out. We lost a few passengers around where I am sitting, possibly because they got other flights. I’m not sure, but it brings people curiously close together when they share in a common ‘hardship’. It’s really hard to call it a hardship, but for lack of a better term I feel somewhat closer to the people on this flight now.
