Depends. If they debriefed and called their duty officer, then there's no particular regulatory reason not to continue. They did not have a near miss that might have traumatized them, DAL rejected and the AA crew didn't know anything until after it was over.
Certainly hope they honestly assessed their own fitness afterwards, but a pilot error does not make you unfit in and of itself.
