No such announcement was made to the pax. From the actual report:
"Prior to descent, the Commander asked the Incharge Flight Attendant
to go the Passenger Information List (PIL) to see if there were any
flight crew on board who might be available to assist on the Flight
deck for the remainder of the flight. In the event no line pilots were
on board, but one of the Cabin attendants held a Commercial Pilot’s
Licence, with a Multi-engine Rating, and a non-current Instrument
Rating. The Commander requested that the Flight Attendant occupy the
right-hand (First Officers) seat for the remainder of the flight to
assist as necessary."

approach and landing...

Yes. Indeed, one doesn't need a commercial license or instrument rating to do
that.

Anthony, this presumes that one would know what a three dimensional radio
looked like, how to key a mike, where the switches were located, all in a
real airplane that was actually in the air. Of course, you have no
experience in these matters at all.

Can you imagine Anthony doing a cockpit check in less that twenty
minutes :-)
With the manual open at the correct pages

That's what happens when you read R.A.P. while flying.

Godspeed Bertie!

Is this real or simulated? It would be useful to clarify since I never
seem to know around here anymore.

Unfortunately, this incident was real.
