Stuffy, yes, that am true
Again I plead anno dominie but we would cruise at about 270/290 outbound climbing to 370/390 for RTB. At weights above 143,000lbs, and above a certain height that I cannot recall, we could shut down 2 engines when on task.
If we had to descend early on for a prosecution or visual ID then we would have to restart one or even two. Below 143,000lbs we were cleared to 200 feet on two and had the ability to climb at 100 ft/min on one - sporty.
At least the procedure with the P8 would be a lot simpler
