Another thread says that pilots aren't commercially aware. This thread proves it.
Come on every one, you make decisions every day balancing safety against cost. Why not fly all aircraft with full tanks, half payload and 5 pilots on the flight deck. That would be very safe (who's Captain today?)!
So I'll trust the regulators that allow ETOPS to be cleverer than me at deciding if it's safe.
And having spent many years flying 747s around I recently changed to 767s and, yes, I have a gut feeling that I'd like more engines, but that's all it is, a subjective feeling.
