A replacement Boeing 737-700 registration N248WN reached Dallas with a delay of about 3 hours.
Late Nov 12th 2019 (Pacific Standard Time) the FAA reported: "the crew advised they were experiencing speed-control issues after departing".
With that information on hand a previously unreadable portion of their transmissions became understandable, the crew reported a gear problem and subsequently added: "we are not able to bring the power back on the aircraft without gear being down" and again clarified they could not get the aircraft to accelerate, slow down for the approach would not be a problem, the gear was down. The crew indicated to return to Santa Ana, later deciding to divert to Los Angeles.
