Is SFO a maintenance hub? That could be another variable, if the repair facilities in LAX are better.

And then there’s a potential bias against SFO, given they just let an airplane take off that HAD A WHEEL FALL OFF. Maybe they aren’t the best party to examine the plane just now.

United Airlines has its main maintenance hub at SFO, and smaller ones at several other airports including LAX.
