plus, you are not going to do them with PAX, since one will be a divert and the FAA will not tell you which one.
not saying you will not get ETOPS, just that it is not as easy as you think. Didn't your Company say they would have flights by Dec 2018? now there is silence, doesn't that tell you something?
Their is a lot I don't know, but I love to learn. I appreciate all the input on here actually. If their are set backs, I see them as opportunities to be better. It's really exciting to see us moving forward and into new territory. (imagine me doing a cartwheel singling "LUV LUV LUV"
)
From what I read on the FAA website, 10 of the table top scenarios were conducted with real flights. Perhaps full of volunteers? Employees, or non revs from other airlines?
