See Dick, you can't keep your own argument on the logic path.
You finally admit that you support ETOPS then you launch into this:
The prime reason that the major aircraft manufacturers have pushed for ETOPS approvals is so they can sell more aircraft , get more people flying and make more money.
It was not to improve safety over four engined aircraft. Not once has anyone claimed that is was to increase safety. If that was so they would say so!
Now you're against the manufacturer's and their capitalistic ways. How utterly contemptible for any company to want to increase their profits.
The main reason you started this thread is you wanted everyone in pprune land to acknowledge that you are right and that CASA are not applying their legislation consistently and you were just using ETOPs as an example. Well there's a revelation , CASA have one rule for one lot and a different rule for the rest all embedded in the same rules. There is nothing new in what you have discovered, have you seen the difference between the requirements for aerial work and that for charter?
The biggest mistake people have made on this thread is taking you at face value in suggesting that ETOPs is the issue.
