Since I have zero 'bus time, would the the 320 have the requisite systems backup (HMG, RAT, etc) that would be required in MNPS airspace? If they had to fly the Blue Spruce routes, would there be the fuel? Can the 320 do 6 hours? Of course the 330 (common rating?) has all the requirements.

Our A320's our currently only 1 hour ETOPS certified which precludes trans-atlantic flying. There is an airline in Australia the has 2-hour ETOPS 320's and does trans-oceanic so it is possible. I think it wouldn't take much more than a second HF radio and some $$ for certification.
The Navy uses 737's and C-9's (extended range) to cross the pond. Usually stop in Canada or Lajes. No reason an A320 couldn't do the - at least east bound. How about Europe to Reykjavik to the states?
