Narrative:
First aircraft maintenance issue; aborted take off & aircraft swap.second aircraft maintenance issue-electrical/burning smell in flight deck.third aircraft maintenance issue-not informed by flight deck; logged by maintenance. (Domicile) assistant base manager; was contacted for assistance and notified due to a electrical/burning smell that was identified in the flight deck by all three working flight attendants onboard. Maintenance confirmed that an odor was present however; stated that it was different from what all three flight attendants smelled. Per the communication from the captain; maintenance could not identify the source and the aircraft was put back in service. Since safety is not only a priority of the cabin crew but of [company]; we as the cabin crew did not feel comfortable taking this aircraft back out. We communicated to [our manager] that we are more than willing to fly another aircraft and/or another pairing. It is my understanding that we were swapped out with aircraft Y and the crew that had received our aircraft Y. This was not in any way an intentional disregard of assignment; just keeping safety a priority.
