Capt Basil, ok then but I think their 1 hour planning rule (ie "within range") may be about 420 nm for the "NG".

Great to see you will have ETOPS back (according to Dookie). That holds well for any future longer-haul runs i guess, after a clean 12 months+ record of ETOPS ops.
You're still being tested on it due to "it" being in the Sim Training Martix Items, which are very hard to change.

So far as it not being a big issue with many of you... well that's very dependant on each individual. All I keep hearing from other more experienced drivers, that had experience with your lot is that the whole ETOPS issue was very much misunderstood there. Lets hope it's changed.
