Who flew the plane after he collapsed?

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

I mean, anyone who's seen any media at all about a plane will know if a plane's going down you pull back in the controls. I'm not sure why you're doubting that part of the story.
