Blackmail,thanks.But i was thinking differently.IF there were no discontinuties in the FMC,and if this were a PPOS hold(not one over destination,like helios,OR one enroute destination,but PPOS),i would think that there must HAVE to be some inbuilt protection.After all the airplane is still flying VNAV speed and there has to be a protection against a stall in VNAV speed(obviously this would'nt work if the engines have flamed out).But there MUST be SOME protection.......

.Welcome any input.Thx.
