There would have been 4 of them in the flight deck.

I would think all 4 stood down immediately and paxed back to DXB.

The 2 support pilots will probably be ok as there is stuff all they could have done to prevent it in such a dynamic situation. Plus may not have been able to see the maltese cross etc etc.

As for the 2 guys in the hot seats - I guess they'll have to wait for the QAR data and EK will take it from there in their usual inimitable style.

I'm curious to hear it took out runway end lights - if that's true - shades of Joburg.
