Well Said JizzMonkey & Big Picture
Now that we've got a pretty clear picture that BOTH engine STALLed during descent, you got to give it to the company spin doctor who said "at no time where both engine on CX780 where SHUT DOWN". What clever use of words by CCD, because technically it is true.
I gotta say job well done again to the crew on CX780! Must be stressful dealing with both engine stall and then stuck EPA. A lot of armchair pilot on pprune will always think they can do better, but I tend to agree wtih Big Picture that zero fatalities and a saved aircraft is definitely the benchmark in a difficult situation like this!
