Justification, observation, fortuity, whatever you want to call it -- it's not a great look, even if you think it's harmless.
Let's put this another way: back in 2011, UA had no HND slots and lost them to DL, HA and AA. A few months later, the 3/11 earthquake happened and Japan was thrown into chaos. If someone had said "well it's fortunate UA got no HND slots given the natural disaster," people would rightly be offended and upset.
(I recognize it was unintentional but it bears worth mentioning.)
