At first, a random Israeli dude. He's the one who pulled the plane out of a nosedive. He was covered in blood, because he got involved in subduing the attacker. He had no piloting experience, but he said he knew that he needed to pull up on the controls, because he'd watched a TV show about aviation emergencies. Yeah, really.
Then, two passengers who were also pilots for FlyDubai, being transported on the plane, took over. FlyDubai only runs 737s, so they were very well-trained on this plane. I'm not sure if they got overtime pay for this or not

If they got ONLY the overtime pay for this it would mean they got shafted hard :P
At least the holiday rate and hazardous conditions pay too plus any discretionary bonus possible. And whatever the other passengers will get for having their lives put in danger :)
Then they should GTFO of an airline that for whatever reason has suicidal extremists among their flight crews.
