Ako naman nakasakay sa PAL na yung MLA to SFO kinuha ng flying time na 2 hours less than scheduled kaya kahit late umalis, early kami dumating.

Minsan lang natakot me kasi yung B737 namin sa kalibo, ayaw pumihit nung landing gear pero mga 30 minutes tina-try nung pilot ipihit -- tipong igo-go pa kung maayos niya by brute force -- buti di naayos.

It's our preventive maintenance that needs more work, IMO.
That happens when the plane isn't completely loaded with cargo and it catches a tail wind at about 35K feet. That happens to flights from Japan to SFO alot and planes arrive 1-2 hours earlier than scheduled..
