On a serious note I wonder what the US 777 crew that had an engine failure mid pacific between NZ and LA and flew on for over 4 hours single engine (can't remember time precisely) feel about 330mins ETOPS - I think it is pushing the boundaries personally!
Yeah they had a engine problem at the PNR and flew for 192 minutes on one donk to Hilo back when ETOPS was 180 mins.
I agree 330 mins on one engine in the middle of the night probably over the south pole or some other similarly inhospitable locale is pushing the limits.
The engines were never the real trouble lately.
Some QANTAS pilots would probably disagree on that point at the moment
