Why not make something safe instead of trying to end run an economic incentive to safety? Airplanes are one of the safest per mile form of transportation in the US because we regulate the actual safe flight instead of playing economic games to get companies to act safely.

It seems to me premiums that approach or exceed the cost of an upgrade would encourage them to get moving on the fix. On the other hand, maybe it makes more sense for insurance carriers to simply refuse to assume liability for flights on airplanes with altimeters that are known to have issues with 5G tech. That approach seems to work for discouraging new construction in floodplains.
