Having no specific knowledge so: [speculation mode on]
After a transatlantic flight having crossed many timezones a recovery of jetlag is mandatory.
You may see familiarisation flights on friday, missions I would not expect before monday [speculation mode off]
Previous messages mention a split of 6 to Norway and 6 in Spang, so keep looking for transportflights to Norway as well.

Does that only apply to the pilots that transferred the jets or to the ones that arrived in the supporting a/c as well?

Likely to both, although the minimum duration of the 'rest period' will be different.
