This is all good info gang. With Australia about to adopt an EASA type system, we are all wondering where it will lead, and to see the experiences in Europe gives some idea.
Hopefully my isolation will see me through to retirement, both from an ETOPS and distance perspective. I wonder if SAS would just fly someone out from Arlanda to somewhere like Nuuk in Greenland to fix an overnighter...
What Sweden probably terms a 'domestic' flight in terms of distance is done in Australia with a 19 seat turboprop with similar nil engineering support (we'll fly a dude down to Kununnurra in the morning Captain, in the meantime, just sweat it out in that 45 degree heat).
However what Australians term a 'domestic' flight can be the same as Stockholm to Cairo, Reykjavik or Rome, but using the same narrow-body equipment that SAS would use for their 'domestic' flights.
'ave a good night!
