Narrative:
I was off the ATC frequency giving passenger the descent PA. The captain has been on FMS airplanes since jan/xx/96. While I was off, the captain received clearance to descend to FL270 then cross vwv at FL240. He set the MCP to FL270 and line selected FL270 to the cruise altitude page and executed. At FL270 the airplane went to altitude hold. He set FL240 at vwv on the legs page and the MCP, but failed to select VNAV. I came back on the radio and was briefed on the clearance just as we were crossing vwv at FL270, not at FL240 as cleared. The aircraft was in altitude hold.
