Waldorf Salad

Airbubba

"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."

I am not sure what kind of Airbubba you were smoking when you read my post or perhaps is the Waldorf Salad you eats on that side of the world that cause such a side effect. ETOP duration is based on reliability statistic. if you fall within the range then that what will determine the status the airline in whether is 120 or 180 Min. And that has nothing to do with Pan Am or Basel Fawlty Airline..or the price of a hotel room in Torquay!!!!.GOT IT!

And again Major Airbubba do accept my apology wont you as I am only a hotel owner in Torquay what do I know about ETOP FAA AC 120.42A Rules!

Safe flying to all from Sybil,Polly and Manuel!
