If the incident occurred north / abeam of Manila, then the s/o would almost certainly been on his/her break.(s/o normally gets first break in a 3 "man" crew, certainly with QF) I'm sure he/he would have done a sterling job if part of the crew on watch at the time.
I have no doubt JB and BW would have done it beautifully.. Is the RPLL 06 ILS still out?
