There is nothing wrong to shake your colleague's hand at the completion of a trip, especially when the odds of seeing them again are rather low. If it's my name in the Tech Log, then I am just grateful for the help provided by my colleague(s) on the flight deck. It' s not unique to EK but it would be a different story in a small base with a handful of crew you see often.
