Narrative:
The Air Canada DC-9-32 (ACA216), with 5 crew members and 72 passengers on board, was being pushed back from Gate 1 at the Vancouver International Airport in preparation for departure to Calgary, Alberta. In accordance with standard company procedures, the captain initiated the starting sequence for the No. 2 (right side) engine during the push-back. The start was unremarkable and, while the first officer completed the required after-start engine and electrical checks, the captain initiated the starting sequence for the No. 1 (left side) engine. The engine did not start, however, and the captain informed the first officer that they had a wet start, discontinued the start, and began the Wet Start and Unsatisfactory Start procedures.
