Sorry, I misunderstood your meaning. This latest incident of the T9 reports the Captain and F/O noticing a trend of Oil loss, and spooling down to (Flight) Idle. A Captain's commanded loss of an engine's power due loss of Oil sounds like a Boeing StratoCruiser, or Connie. An Airbus??

What will they think of next.

Without putting too fine a point on QF32, the outcome was to pull the EEC on engine Drop, and immediately change software. Are you understanding me when I say that the Software was not and is not the Problem?? The Engine has a current service life of six months. The software doesn't extend that, it (hopefully) allows for an auto shutdown in time to save an a/c. It is a Patch on a Hemorrhage. (imo).
