Covoxer is right on the "cheat" reason but I disagree about pax hapyness.
This was also explained many time several month ago
First if your company say you'll arrive 4 hours later and finally your trip last
3 hours only. Pax may start to wonder if the captain will not also forget the
landing gear given he's not able to do such basic calculation.
This doesn't show a good proffesional behaviour and doesn't give much thrust.
Margin are wide enough to not have wind as an excuse. There was a serious
miscalculation somewhere, let's hope they are able *at least* to calculate the fuel needed
Now many Pax at arrival will have people that wait for them, car, hotel, another
flight or such things, some people might be happy to wait at airport but I guess
most will be annoyed, your friend are not here, your car is not ready and if you had
to wait 3 hours for the next flight you'll have to wait even more.
About challenge Cov is right anyway, if someone say he crashed because he was
stressed to arrive on time, FsP's goal is fully reached, challenge you to still
fly professionnaly under pressure.
