Just a quick thought for this one in a 2 engined a/c. Never flown jets so not exactly sure about this. Say you've shut down one engine on a twin to save fuel or whetever. What happens if the other one fails. Aren't you a bit up sh1t creek then, or can you restart t'other in time to save your bacon and not scare the pax so they don't report you to the press
