Delayed because of: On the first MD88 we pushed back and started the engines but it wasn’t starting to taxi and we didn’t moved for about 10 to 15 minutes, then the captain announced that they where going to return us to the gate because the Electrical System of the MD88 wasn’t working as it supposed to be and that a mechanic was on the way to fix it, after about 20 minutes the captain announced that the failure can’t be fixed quickly that they'll deplane us and that there was another MD88 waiting for us and thankfully it was on the gate next to us, and finally after an extra hour of waiting at the gate we finally boarded our new MD88. People started to get mad because at the gate they didn’t gave us any status and there was only one gate agent in charge. But I was chilling because I was watching the live panel of The Rise of Skywalker from Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019 , which was were I was going , so for me there was no problem.
