Why are we wasting all this money over ETOPS procedures, IFSD rates, etc, when it is clear that most here are prepared to accept a higher level of risk. Have we ever lost an aircraft due to strictly ETOPS issues? Based on that the procedures are superfluous.
I think we should be looking at what we may have to do if (when?) Katla erupts as many claim is a highly likely event.
Eyjafjallajökull might just be the warm-up!
We dont have much time to think this thing out.
