Narrative:

In 25 yrs of flying, I have never before had an engine just quit. I was captain of flight on dec/mon/02 from lgb, headed for dfw. Climbing through 3000 ft, my trusty MD80 aircraft became single engine. I was as busy as a 1 armed paper hanger, since I was the PNF, and in the next 7 mins was able to complete the job safely with an emergency landing in lax. I made a decision in a time critical point to have ATC contact my company, and to the best of my recollection, my dispatcher. Upon completing what I felt was a good job, I was informed by my dispatcher, that he had not received any communication of the emergency, and he later wrote up an as soon as possible report with concern over a remark I had made to him by telephone. I had said that I had received emphasized training that in a time-critical emergency, to use all my assets.
