Is this due to "engineering" or lack of qualified running staff? I'm assuming it's a different problem from your earlier advice re a First Officer having to travel down from Sydney.

I hope no passengers have an 0930 hours Jakarta time business meeting tomorrow morning. Bleary eyes.

We have been advised they need to tow the aircraft away from the terminal to do an engine run before the engineers can make an assessment and sign off, although there was an assurance from them that the engineers are fairly confident whatever the original issue was has been fixed.

Credit to QFi staff for informing you and not just giving a 'BS' "answer".

Safety is deservedly #1, but the delay must be quite frustrating, given it comes with a smidgeon of uncertainty.
