I suspect that if the FAA and SWA have issues with Etops it’s going to be about time. ETOPS takes time because a certified mechanic has to run a ETOPS check and sign off the log book. Some individual required checks can be time consuming. I have no doubt SWA is trying to compress that because they don’t want 90 minute turns.
