If a full undiluted transparent report ever appears, it will be a rich source for human factors/CRM teaching. One of the few occasions when an abnormality of the mind occurred.
The fact that they continued the first approach must indicate that they believed a successful landing
(And the Gear was DOWN) possible which to those who contribute to theads was extremely unlikely, if not impossible.
If the airline hopes to regain its reputation, then robust flight data monitoring must take place.
It would be further enhanced if the usual suspects were not involved, and say the department was staffed by French aviators who are regarded as independent.
The chances of this occurring ~ virtually NIL.
Then of course the little matter of licences issued by deception / fraud, not to mention recurrent training and testing in the simulator by
responsible competent pilots.
A big ask which will be a step too far given the culture?
