Hi all,

Thanks for the inputs, this was just an exercise its not intended to be a real life situation (at least i do not have the intentions to go through such situation)

Ya i think the normal answer and the one i gave was to throttle down and pitch down (maintaining speed and descend) which is the normal answer. But then when asked if that was the only option i started thinking on another option, kinda backup plan. And i answered this, and i would like to know if it was correct or if it could be feasible. This is why i put the question here, because i didn't get a straight comment on my answer.

I also learned some things with you' all. The 737 does not dump fuel.
The speed tapes even if it says that you'r on the coffin corner you still have the 1.3g margin (which i was not thinking)

de facto says
B737 have no issue of so called coffin corner..
Is this true ? Can you give some more info on this ? I will google for it anyways

yes i know that's the intention of the interview and these kind of questions .
