The DC 10 did have a flight engineer, they deleted that position with the MD 11. What has amazed me about this mishap is that Capt Dennis Fitch (the Sim Instructor that was deadheading) had read of the Japan Airlines 123 crash in 1985 with loss of hydraulic fluid and wondered if an airliner could be controlled with power levers only without hydraulic power and had experimented with that problem in the simulator and that he was aboard on this flight.
