Far as we know there were at least two pilots. If their union dues are up to date they probably will get some extra sims and a line check and resume their scheduled trips. If the CVR is missing they can't gig them for missing checklists and callouts, right?
As an international carrier from a bit of an unfriendly nation these days, IF the airline was not authorized to use that procedure, and/or if that ac was not authorized, and/or if that crew was not authorized to use that procedure, I am afraid the ramifications will be a bit more than a few extra sims.
As a driver sitting in that lineup, what would you want for that crew, see them on the next rotation and hope? When AC aircraft are around will SOP be "cabin crew prepare for impact"?
Is this per chance, the same AC crew that tried to land in the water a while back?
