Hi Fabian, Scoot have put all the info up on their Facebook page about the delay.
https://www.facebook.com/FlyScootAU

In a nutshell it was a cockpit computer warning and a fuel tank seal that engineers needed to replace. Took longer than expected to fix the fuel tank seal, aircraft eventually left just over 6 hours late.

It's good that they put a summary up on Facebook too, first time I've seen it done like this!

Did Scoot summarize the delay in any other mediums apart from Facebook ? . If they did , then fair enough . If the only delay explanation was via Facebook , I would have to say not good enough . It's all to easy these days to make the assumption that we are all Facebook tragics , but guess what ? .. I hate Facebook and won't go near it ..
