If it was FR, the pilots would be sacked by now!
Don't think even MOL would be that dumb.
Imagine the headlines, "Airline boss insists pilots leave colleague to drown.", not to mention the law suits. There exists a legal responsibility of due care in British law, that you cannot just stand by and do nothing in such circumstances - same as watching someone drown in a swimming pool, you must attempt to rescue them unless doing so would endanger others.
