I didn't realize this thread had moved into discussing wing mounted turbofan aircraft. A reasonable assumption is this thread topic is about Cessna Citations.

Two pilots help tremendously if they practice good CRM. Unfortunately there have been incidents where two pilots just added to the confusion and one pilot might have better sorted the situation out.

The remaining engine maintains pressurization, electrical generation, and propulsion.

A multiengine jet has all of the benefits of being multiengine (redundant propulsion, systems) with little to none of the negatives of prop planes (large asymmetric thrust, high Vmc, demanding engine out drill, possible feathering of the wrong one).

In comparison, that is trivial.

When is the last time you heard of a jet having a Vmc roll over? Think about it.

On the subject of twin jet engine failures this is what happens in an Eclipse.

First of all Vmc is lower that stall speed so you will lose the wing before the rudder also one engine will provide all the pressurization you need.

On engine failure the avionics "Avio" will automatically reconfigure the pressurization system,electrical system for the operating engine, do any electrical load shed that's required and when the fuel load in one wing is more than 50 higher than the other transfer fuel to even the load. All part of an airplane designed for single pilot from its concept.

Now if I could afford a CJ I think I would buy a house in Nantucket
