Long time retired but I am glad I wasn't lured into a mistake like that, although I almost (as a young S/O) talked a crew into taking a wrong RWY. Luckily the boss had (then) 18.000hrs more than I had and noticed the difference in heading and we could swap to the correct one.

Like the Ancient Greek, I would say, they have been punished already hard enough, and it will haunt them for years to come, (especially after a few beers with colleagues), more punishment is not effective.

Like my Chief Pilot then used to say about incidents like this: I am going to laugh my head off about these things, AFTER I am retired myself.....
