Clearly the damage is repairable.
Whether that will happen depends on a number of factors, not least on how much residual value there is in a 19-year-old airframe.

Perhaps FL140 has some relation. Typically somewhere above FL100 the fasten seatbelt is turned off and a bit later passengers are allowed to turn on approved electronic devises, give that a minute more and that could coincide with near FL140. Assuming a climb rate of 1-2,000 fpm.
