Your comment may well have been meant to be TIC ..... but there is a heck of a difference between planning an (all) engine(s) out appproach and being put in an unplanned situation with all the drag out already and at a range of 10?nm on the glideslope when you loose the engines.
Suggest you ignore the Avianca comparison in what is a theoretical discussion.
