Depends
We had a tailstrike event with a 777 on departure at my airline, there was extensive damage to the aircraft
In that case the crew went through some retraining in the sim and went back to the line
If either one of the Pilots had a ‘record’ of negative events there may have been a different outcome but management was very fair, obviously it wasn’t intentional so why throw away someone’s invaluable experience?
Of course it depends on the individual Airline
