45 seconds spool up time? Ok...
So what happens if you are at FL390 and ATC instructs you to descend to 370, will you never select OPEN DESCENT or LEVEL CHANGE? This will lead to idle thrust, Boeings and Airbuses do this on a daily basis, none of them fall out of the sky after trying to level off due to the thrust not responding.
