Not to set off a big hullaballoo, but BA038 proved that you can land and not kill people when you don't have all the thrust you'd like, when you'd like it.
"Attention, folks, we're on approach now. As we trim for our landing, you will notice that the cabin will become dark and the airconditioning will stop. Don't panic - we're saving the fuel you didn't pay for so our stockholders won't feel any sort of financial pinch, and this [yadda] aircraft has proven itself perfectly capable of landing without any thrust from the engines under emergency conditions, a situation which your budget-priced ticket has ensured you will have to experience. Please remember to remove any personal belongings still contained in the overhead compartments before departing the aircraft. Please thank your cabin crew for working so hard to please you..."
B73-5s and A300s will rule the day at this point... LOL!
