That's funny... shows your level of understanding then, when
VB DON"T HAVE ETOPS approval... it was lost some time ago due maintenance records.
That's why you track via Forrest, going to Perth!
Its just water below you as apposed to land,
There's alot more that goes into it pal and it's not just with the drivers!
Sure, the "NG" comes with an automatic 2 hour ETOPS but that's just the start of it. Alot more has to be proven before full approval is granted. Heck, Air Poly even had a 3 hour limit
but it wasn't automatically handed over to Poly Blue. I hope you get it back anyway... more direct tracking may save you some duty time.
So it really is about the operations and inturn the economics.
Who knows what may occur. My bet is a 3rd shelf company. All I can see at the moment, is PacBlue just going about their current route structure and job... nothing more, nothing less.
