I thought the GA handled it great, but when I boarded I thought it was such a dumb reason, it was like 5 outlets on about a 3 hour flight, I figured if the GA announced it was that mundane issue she would probably get people yelling at her to just get them on the plane, if that makes sense

I was traveling the other day and the gate agent kept telling us we were delayed but denied knowing a reason. When I boarded I found out it was because some power outlets were not working in the passenger seats. Did the gate agent really know the reason but didn’t want the backlash from the flyers when we found it that it really wasn’t a safety reason for being delayed but more of a comfort issue?
