The S/O on the QF1 did not lose his job, though it did spur him on to a (voluntary) fleet change to get away from all the crap. He also happens to be a very nice bloke and a very capable operator.
However I do know of an occassion where a senior QF B747 captain stated quite matter of factly: "if it wasn't for the second officer, that QF1 accident would never have happened!" Many of those types have retired now, but you still come across one occasionally.
