scary stuff.
I'd like to think that in the old days, airlines would have grounded them out of an ubundance of caution.... not to mention because it is the legal thing to do. Today, paying fines or negotiating for extensions to allow non compliant planed is cheaper.
I'll bet a decade or three ago, planes would be grounded for even smaller issues....like a station running out of Wild Turkey 101
