Parts on Planes Fail... Chances are he would have been waiting for parts before being able to depart... I think he made the correct decision in the "Air Turn Back" Probably Saved a lot o time and money in a long run... I would guess the crew via Acars or HF were talking with Company Maintenance and Dispatch it was a joint decision even though the pilot had final authority.
Parts in Argentina are hard to come by and at a higher premium price
They would have probably had to ship the part down, because it would have to clear their QC Department first.... that would at best been the next day for arrival and install and probably would have had to send a company mechanic down with it to inspect the install... Would have been grounded for 2 days minimum if they had continued.
