I dislike the idea of there being a disincentive to hold an aircraft for maintenance. Safety & security come first and anything which disincentivizes that is a poor idea.
This incident appears to have been handled the way most carriers would handle the issue worldwide. Some flight was to be cancelled, so which one?
