I'd have no qualms whatsoever about shutting down the faulty engine and then performing a landing above MLW, and I doubt the management would find fault with that course of action. I think MaxBlow is suffering from the effects of a management which say money and not safety as the most important factor.
Hmmm... Engine out, above MLW... Where's the "safety" in that?!?
If I were management, I'd sure find fault with that! What is your go-around performance under those conditions?
