Am I missing something?
- yes

So a 737 has to be within 1200 miles on two but a quad, with all of it's extensive systems redundancy, has to be within 1200 miles on three

It's definitely a worry that people think its ok to run around on one because its "ETOPS" but down to three engines on a quad is dangerous - weird world - glad I'm retiring.

barking !!
