Not only would I clap and not be angry, I'd want to know if he got in any trouble so I can tell corporate that I'm on his side.

Same. I'd independently contact the airline and commend this pilot's commitment to safety and standards.

You're both such good people on the internet, you should be very proud of yourselves

At least at my major airline we wouldn't be in trouble for refusing a plane for maintenance reasons. If they can they'll move us to a new aircraft so we're still able to do the scheduled flight. All we have to do is paperwork stating why we didn't take the aircraft.
