There weren't any pilots on board, only incompetent systems operators.
Culture can play a very crucial rule in the cockpit !
Lets not kid ourselves....even in our Western culture
its not always simple as a copilot to question the captain.
In Eastern cultures like the Korean, the captain is the
absolute boss !

Senior Captain. It don't matter that he can't fly the plane good. He's senior. New instructor intimidated by seniority wouldn't say anything. They all went into the ground. Granted long flight but I can't see where they should be tired with a relief crew and really don't think fatigue played a factor. I actually lay more at the PM;s feet because he should have been monitoring all that crap. 777 is not certified for 1 man operation, yet the only callout was about sink rate from the guy in the jump seat.
Thank you for posting.
Frankly scary lack of attentiveness to the reality of the scenario unfolding. Think it would be good for people used to working solo to have a second set of eyes as your own cross check.

And being a Boeing, that second set of eyes, being the airbus computer (HAL?) was not there.
LOL. You know, what makes the whole ting even more weird, and I haven't never flown on, but that dude had several thousand hours in a 747 I believe. The avionics setup is similar. You'd think he would have known that, UNLESS, they just both panicked at having to do a manual approach. Funny thing though, Asiana and many other foreign flag airlines were in SFO before and after. That was not the first day the ILS was out nor the last. Maybe they were just a couple of dummies.
