Phugoid oscillations

I was reading the 85 747 JAL crash report and noticed the fact that they entered in a state of vertical oscillation and from the timeline of the cvr transcript they were in this state for about 30 mins or so.
Would it be possible to stablise an A/C in this condition? I know we're talking about a big and heavy 747, but would it be recoverable on, say, a 737? Thanks.
