The airlines are having to pull massively CapEx equipment (the price tag on a 787-9 is well over a quarter billion dollars) out of their fleets to have the IPC turbine blades on their engines replaced — using a temporary fix, which will require them to be pulled from service yet again, once the permanent fix is vetted.
Of course they mean "disruption" in the operational sense.
I see no basis on which to infer the Silly Valley sense of the term here.
