4 engines safer than 2 engines
When sitting over the middle of the ocean or any remote area there is a distinct "feel good factor" being in a 3 or 4 engined aircraft.
Ever lost an engine in a "Twin" in a remote area - if so, you would rather be in a 4 engined aircraft.
Two engined ops over remote area's obviously rediculous - Thats why you need ETOPS - a compromise!
4 engines over 2 - any day - safer - isn't that what it's all about or have we lost site of the fact that things can still go wrong.
Lets keep the odds in our favour.
