True, if you have plenty of fuel any direction will work.

But at least with a Boeing, you can still fly the airplane. With an Airbus, not so sure.

In the Bus, you would just drop the RAT and go to Emergency Electrical Configuration. As I went from Boeing to Airbus, I thought the RAT was a pretty good idea. Boeing tends to favor the 30 min of battery time.
