And as for the comfy NG driver question. I haven't flown one but do fly something similar. They don't have autopilot but its not that bad at altitude. Unless the bull gear has gone and then your into whole different ball game. The prop stops in under one turn.
Our main issue is with drift down which is usually an unknown concept to commercial deptments and ops.
