Exactly.
The A380 fleet was grounded until it was ascertained which of the aircraft were and were not modified.

If the head of the engineering union with substantively more experience than any industry hack or duplicitous regulatory idiot, details the inspection takes an hour per aircraft, then what precisely is the downside?
