No MAXs, anywhere, are ETOPS ready. Not sure when they will be delivered. Wait and see. They will be integrated eventually.

We have several ETOPS ready MAX's already on property. This one delivered Oct 2, 2017.

They are equipped. Not certified.

It will happen soon enough, but not initially.

There are MAX's doing ETOPS for many airlines. The aircraft is most definitely is certified. We may not be, but the aircraft is.

So would southwest be a good move for a pilot living in Hawaii? Could junior guys most likely get LAX and be doing the Hawaii trips?

EDIT: Asking for a friend.....

Cost of living in Hawaii -

Gallon of milk $8.00
Dozen eggs $7.00

Cheeseburger and fries at Waikiki $24.00 (beverage is extra)

1 bedroom studio apartment $1800/month.

Since the guy is asking for someone already living in Hawaii, and he goes by "Hawaii808", I'm guessing he already knows what a gallon of milk costs. :rolleyes:

To answer the question, no one knows for sure how LAX will shake out when its all said and done - but yes, it's likely a junior guy can hold it and do some HI flying.
