If we are to learn something from this then perhaps we should look at our simulator training.
I have heard rumours on the grape vine that it's already happened, and that fuel management has become a higher priority item in the sim sessions over the last few weeks.

When I look at what ACTUALLY happened here, and what has happened in recent weeks with other carriers, I have to wonder why those carriers are not being castigated to the same extent that is happening here.

We've seen that the Dutch have now banned Phuket & Onur Air, and the CAA in the UK have also acted against Phuket.

That suggests that there are operations and incidents out there that are a lot more controversial and unacceptable than this event.

I don't see 20 & 30 page threads about other carriers, and it's clear that they are far more seriously in trouble, and the issues do relate directly to flight safety.

Please people, can we move on?
