Big planes glide much better than small planes. An airliner has about
twice
the glide ration that your Pathfinder does.

Well, the Pathfinder glides like a rock. ;-)

But is that true of all airliners? I guess I would have thought that a
600,000 pound un-powered jetliner wouldn't glide very well.

Of course, the odds of losing all your engines are slim. But then who would
ever believe that they would run the Boeing 307 out of gas?
