It's all about money. Airlines don't want to spend fuel on 4 engine planes anymore. But come on, 5 and a half hours on a twin engine that only has one remaining in function? And i used to think 180 ETOPS was too much already and they should have kept it at 120 max. Now 330mn I don't even see the use of having ETOPS anymore it doesn't make sense!
