That Skipper would be so over it, (and if the airlines have not changed, he will probably get a call from crewing, don't suppose you can do a MEL?) (After trying to get home for two days)!
I know you're just trying to be amusing, Teresa, but there is no way on God's green earth that QANTAS will call the Captain out after an incident like this one. He will be given as much time off as he wants, plus all associated support and care. The airline will also provide support to the crew's families.
