It sure is, that far out there into the Pacific!
What ETOPS/EDTO are they approved for on their B767 with the GE CF-6's?
aguadalte - "...are required to be shut-down if, at idle, an ENG OIL FILTER CLOG message is still present... rules dictate that the aircraft could not have even entered the ETOPS sector in that condition and that a diversion would have to be made to a suitable airdrome."
BINGO! Spot-on Aquadaite and both these are very serious concerns.
Jabbara raises another question with his comments referencing A330's. Sure, different engine type BUT do Asiana operate Airbus and Boeing fleets on a combined single checklist, OR do they follow the individual manufacturer's checklists and procedures? This alone may provide confusion. EK & Brunei tried briefly combined checklists but threw it out as dangerous while SIA remain with it, thinking they know better than the maker.
Rules are rules and types are different.
