ETOPS dispatch
Hello guys
In my previous job, an ETOPS dispatch was valid for 36hs. So this was good because if we had to divert to an enroute alternate we would still be able to redispatch without the necessity of an engineering signature release. Here in this new job ( Middle East ) they state that the ETOPS dispatch is valid just for that particular sector and if we end up diverting to an enroute alternate airport with no company engineering available, we will probably get stucked there untill they find a way to send us some kind of help. Of course this is just if we have no other option other than flying again in an ETOPS sector out of this alternate airport to our original destination or wherever..
How is this "regulation" for other airlines? Thanks! PA18
