Thank you mm43 for the link.
I don't know why, but after reading I recalled the statement of an airline boss - not in SAmerica or Africa, but of an flag carrier in the middle of Europe - "Passengers are not willing anymore to pay a little extra for safety....".
That was twenty years ago.

@HazelNut39

.......is misreading the UAS procedure. He quotes a "Memory Item" that is not applicable at cruise altitude.
Well, as far as I did understand the procedure, above FL100 the memory items call for 5°/Climb thrust.
I found it strange, but as I never have flown a bus, I asked some friends current on the A330 and they concurred, although confirming, that they'd rather stay with the attitude/N1 which had been before the event.
May be you can explain what you ment. Here's a link to the procedure:
