Subtle differences. EDTO is less restrictive on a practical level, usually to accommodate geographical circumstances. We use 180 minute EDTO here in Pacific region.

However as we all know, the passengers will not remain seated after a ditching whilst we prepare the rafts. Chaos will ensue for sure. The regulators will have to answer questions when this does happen, which it will one day.
