Here we go again! There are so many operational short comings on this incident flight that the whole damn airline should be shut down and the flight crews re-trained to a much higher standard. Sad to see that not much has changed in the last 20 years!
> In the process of starting the engine, says the inquiry, the aircraft “lost a considerable amount of energy” but the crew “did not notice” that the airspeed was bleeding away, to as little as 127kt.

Eastern 401. Four on the flight deck trying to change a light bulb and they "did not notice" the altitude.
They were on AP and the "bump" caused the ALT HLD to disengage with an insignificant aural warning.
Thanks Vector4Traffic. I understand the AP disengaging was what actually led to the gradual bleeding off of their altitude.
dead foot, dead engine. Oh, they don't use feet anymore. It used to be so simple!
This sounds like British Midlands flight 92. They also shut down the wrong engine only good thing here is these pilots didn’t crash. I also praise the crew of British midlands flight 92 as they noticed the issue and tried to restart the good engine and at least got over the motorway.
