With all due respect some of you obviously do not know much about ETOP rules. losing an ETOP has nothing to do with whether the airline had problems or faults for reasons beyond their control.
Well, just to clarify, the airline needs ETOPS certification in addition to the type approval of the engine airframe combination. ETOPS certification can and has been pulled for various carriers over the years. Pan Am lost 120 minute ETOPS for a while a couple of decades ago due to problems with the PW4000 engines.

But then again I am only a hotel owner in Torquay what do I know about ETOP FAA AC 120.42A Rules
No need to apologize, I know nothing about running a hotel...
