So, doesn't ETOPS require two mechanics for inspections? This tells me that the crazy random charters will stay in the 747 domain, the 777 and 767's will be flying hub to hub. Something to consider if true.

I am not sure if this is standard at all airlines but it's allowable and in our manual for this type of situation at our company.

Bingo. I believe we have a winner....That makes perfect sense.

ETOPS is granted on Airframe and Engine combinations so there's no tether for one type to another. You will have to demonstrate compliance for dispatch, maintenance, and flight operations on all. Take it for an operator that has several different engine types (GE/PW) on -300's and -200's. You also have to demonstrate compliance in areas. North Atlantic does not automatically give you Northern Pacific and Central Pacific. The FAA will ride with you all the time.......

Resume was moved to the second round on 9/12 ... haven't heard anything since. Should I still wait for a call or is it like a TBNT ?
I am former ASA.
Just starting to worry since I haven't heard anything back.
