At altitude you’re not ‘powering out’ of a slow speed event. Decades ago the Captain slowed to FMC holding speed number at FL390 despite my comment “I don’t think we’re supposed to be this slow.” His reply “it’s ok, I’ve done it before.” No buffet. ATC said “normal speed” and power went to continuous where it basically had already been. Stuck. Zero acceleration. We had to descend. Captain “I don’t know why it didn’t work. It worked last time.” I asked “how heavy were you and what altitude?” “I don’t remember.”
