Looking on the bright side, better to have found this corrosion problem via inspections on the ground, which is what corrosion inspections are for, than in the air, when something "important" fails... The program, in this case the maintenance program, which includes corrosion inspections, worked. That's a good thing. All airplanes suffer from corrosion. The hard part is finding the problem before it finds you... Well done! Lets hope they get her back in the air at some point, and in good condition.
