A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration N394DA departed 6 hours later but needed to divert to Atlanta,GA (USA) for a crew change due to crew duty time limitation. N394DA reached Bridgetown with a total delay of 6.5 hours.
A passenger reported the crew announced prior to commencing takeoff roll, they would accelerate the engines to takeoff thrust prior to brakes release causing the aircraft to shake a bit before brakes release. The aircraft subsequently began the departure roll but needed to reject takeoff stop at about 80-90 knots. The crew subsequently announced that they needed to reject takeoff because of a takeoff configuration alert starting to sound. The crew explained the engine acceleration prior to brakes release should have uncovered the takeoff configuration alert issue experienced on the previous flight, however, the alert did not occur until after the aircraft had been into the actual departure roll. Maintenance attempted to fix the problem for a couple of hours but unsuccessfully, a replacement aircraft was prepared and needed to stop in Atlanta for a crew change due to crew duty time limitation.
