GF - it appears from the discussion that some operators enter ETP's into their LEGS pages per their SOP's.
Our SOP prohibit changing the active RTE. RTE 2 is available and can be displayed without activating. That's where you can enter ETP's or other along track fixes.
Most guys just keep track of the ETP time and/or distance, and don't bother entering along track fixes. Technique.
Older generation Airbus FMC's did not have RTE 2 capability. Not sure if the newer Airbus FMC's have RTE 2 capability.
