There does appear to be a dichotomy of approach to incidents dictated by nationality.

They're lucky noone got hurt, but if they keep this up this will go wrong one time.

geez, last week ANA had heavy smoke inside the cabin and now this... what's wrong lately with J-carriers. Anyway atleast no serious injuries here.

The 767s are being phased out by JAL and ANA. Many have been used domestically so have an excessive amount of cycles/takeoffs and landings, which are more critical to "wear and tear" on an aircraft than hours. Japanese carriers have one of the best safety records in the world and also in general have newer fleets.
They are doing much better than Southwest (or U.S. carriers in general) recently.

if this were a LLC the Japanese media would have ROASTED them, but JAL and ANA are the darlings who also get government bailout money if they fail so they have protection

If it's a Boeing 767, I ain't going.

Mashiki is the town that bore the brunt of the recent Kumamoto earthquake. It was hit with two massive tremors. The second was the larger, leading to reconsideration of whether the expression "aftershock" should be used any more.
The last thing they need right now is stuff falling out of the sky onto them.

I've flown JAL, ANA, Delta and American in the past year, and I'll take the Japanese airlines any day of the week.

So hmm... about that Budget Airline spin-off that JAL's planning on setting up.... anyone disagree with my former comments now ?

Ground all 767 flights operated by JAL. Move the airport out of the prefecture. Send JAL packing. I'm tired of the noisy flights.
Oh wait....

is there anything left to inspect?

JAL's Competing with the US Army Corps as to who can drop off the most.

I didn't think aircraft had "optional parts" that could be left behind/dropped.

What? Then how is it the government inspecting it like the title suggests?

JAL's Competing with the US Army Corps as to who can drop off the most. I think JAL may have taken the win for the most off one plane!?

@theFu - meanwhile back at base...
JAL Ground Crew Engineer: Hey boss, got another left over bolt here.
Supervisor: Just add it to the spares box along with the others you've found today.

The US Army Air Corp hasn't existed since 1947.

Yep, what's wrong with J-carriers ?
Come with facts, stats, arguments and 'away from the kitchen table' thinking :)
