With BA's 747s, all packs off, start in pairs. Works extremely well, hot starts rare, and handled automatically. Fuel will be cut, motored and restarted. Even if one of the two ignition systems on an engine fails, it will cut fuel, motor and restart with the other. Starting could be a problem at Bogota when you were outside the autostart envelope and above the altitude restriction for autostarting.
