That's the rip cord that if pulled allows the wing to be easily detatched for heavy maintenance. As long as you didn't see the FO clambering out on the wing to give it a good tug it would be very unlikely to engage.

If I were you I'd be asking for some miles as compensation.

(I may be joking, you decide).
