Going through their minds would be simply getting airborne normally and climbing to a safe altitude before trying to do anything. Airliners are failsafe- hydraulic systems are independent of each other and don't all fail together. The aeroplane is still perfectly flyable. It is not a drama. Most experienced pilots have lost hydraulic systems. The 737 has 3 hydraulic systems and can lose them all and still be controllable. If you are cruising along and lose a hydraulic system, you don't even have to make a precautionary landing! Just continue to destination. So no drama at all.
Mate- please- I had to read that all over twice to get your meaning. You really do know the difference between here and hear, what they're and their and there mean, don't you? And why should capitals get left out? They have feelings too!
