And I would agree with you 100% here.

This thread however is about a single engine failure on an EK380 - it's been brought to a totally different level here - and the subsequent continuation of flight for several hours. WHAT is the big deal? The RISK was assessed by the experienced PIC.

It is. I have had the experience a few times thanks, but all in pistons.... The point is that it is how the rest of the flight is managed isn't it?
