The only large civil jet to use an all-moving tailplane is the Lockheed TriStar, and it works very well.
Initial comments from new pilots to the type were....'this can't be good, it ain't a jet fighter' and 'combined with DLC it is a disaster waiting to happen, hope it's not me'.

How wrong they were...TriStar, it works to perfection.
And, why not...it's a Lockheed.
