Ok let's cancel ETOPS immediately! On 2 engines you can fly 207 minutes from an alternate but on 3 after a pump issue you need to land? On the route flown the 380 would have become terrain critical when down to 1 engine over Turkey. As to ocean, it managed to overfly it by only 6 hours or so.

I know let's apply 2 engine rules to 4. Wait, wait better still single engine rules, must make sure we fly at an altitude that enables us to glide away from the city if we lose all the donks. Oh and let's only allow visual approaches because CAT 3 might end up with Cat 2 or 1.

I have not read a thread for a while which contains so much drivel or so much trolling!
