Just supposing the 'grounding' lobby were to succeed, do we;
a) Ground the fleet, rip them apart, change all the seals, put them back together again and call them safe.
or
b) Ground the fleet and scrap them.
...or is there another option?
No You just make the aircraft ALARP as soon as possible, not we might manage it by the end of the year. There is no need to change seals, with the risk that actually introduces, to think that is to misunderstand what the coroner said. The aircraft cannot be just tolerable it has to be ALARP. Until such time as it is, the SoS can sign it off - honestly - as a risk. But we might get ALARP by the end of the year is simply not good enough.
