Perhaps someone from Westjet can enlighten me here. When you guys started the Hawaii run did all crews have to have some sort of course or was it just a few who would be doing the run?
In short (I'll spare you the details) ETOPS is more a Maintenance program than a Flight Operations program. There is not a great deal of Flight Operations training for ETOPS, however the maintenance side is quite extensive.
To the Naysayers in this forum, I did say that this is the "Short" explaination.
Email me and I'll send you a ETOPS guide in PDF format.
