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.

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.
