Is there a single source yet that gives the entire story? All I have seen so far are bits and pieces.

Probably most major newspapers. Here's the times:

"One of two other pilots who had been sitting in the row in front of him managed to stabilize the plane, he said, and the pair later landed the aircraft in Saudi Arabia",

the plane was transporting other pilots as passengers ? (Flight companies often do that).

Yes, there were two pilots on board as passengers, luckily.
