That much I know.

I guess my question more directly then is "How does he weigh up the effect of an immediate grounding causing significant brand damage, with the option of a (say) 72hr delay that I'm sure he knew would have exactly the same outcome minus the significant trashing of the brand?"

How does a CEO justify making such a decision without incurring the wrath of almost everyone who has any interest in the travel and tourism industry?

It amazes me that some in the Tourism industry congratulate Joyce but can't see that the same result was achievable without further threatening their livelihood.
