It's settled then, 25 years of ETOPS experience, million of hours of safe overwater ops, not an open ocean ditching since Captain Ogg's in a B377 was all dumb luck. We need no stinking computer flight plans, we'll come in 3 hours early, spin out a plan using graphs and the trusty E-6B. That a CFP is vastly more accurate is irrelevant.

Thanks, SSG, Whenrealityhurts for the enlightenment.
