I'm sure that the 737MAX will be 180 ETOPS, until then SWA has plenty of 180min 800s too launch HI service. We are still getting 800s, they will be part of the fleet for a long time. |

Who? I’d like to hear.
The MAX received ETOPS certification in September of last year. https://www.boeing.com/features/2017...tes-09-17.page *The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is certified for 180-Extended Operations, or ETOPS. This means 737 MAX operators can conduct flights on routes that are three hours from alternate airports. |

Norwegian, LOT and Air Canada to name a few.

The only one of your suggestions that can be proven is Norwegian. They file for 60 minutes but occasionally get 120. That's probably because they were the first to get the type.

A quote from Boeing, a picture of our ETOPS aircraft and a list of current operators isn't enough for you I guess. Dude, you're a piece of work. This all stemmed from that completely inaccurate statement of yours - quoted below. A statement you have continued to walk backwards, as I showed information to the contrary. But I give up, you're 100% right. Originally Posted by HalinTexas No MAXs, anywhere, are ETOPS ready. Not sure when they will be delivered. Wait and see. They will be integrated eventually. Boeing and the airlines that operate them, clearly have no idea what they're talking about. |
United is in for a surprise when they find out they - or their MAX's - don't have 180 min ETOPS.

CA state income tax is really not as bad as some people make it out to be. If you are married, the first $537,500 of your income is taxed at a marginal tax rate of 9.3%. However, California's income tax is highly progressive. The first $105,224 is taxed at an effective tax rate of only 4.4%. That's actually below average for many states. Even if you make 250k a year, your effective tax rate is 7.2% (Before any write-off's) For comparison, 43 out of 50 states charge state income tax, and the average effective state income tax rate is 5%.
State income tax is deductible on your federal taxes if you itemize. So if you're in a ~30% federal tax bracket, you'll get to write-off 30% of that 7.2% you paid in state taxes on your federal tax return. So your effective state tax rate would be 5%. Throw in some other federal write-offs (mortgage interest, charity, etc...), and your true effective state tax rate gets into the mid 4% range, depending on your situation, for making 250k. California's property tax rate is also significantly lower than other states (Roughly 1% of the home value, and can not increase more than 2% annually). You'll find that owning property in California is also quite profitable. People get all worked up over CA state income tax, but ~4.5% of your income if you make 250k is a very small price to pay for living in CA. It's worth it for the weather, scenery, things to do, beaches, mountains, wineries, you name it. I hope what you are saying is true though, that they don't tax the way the feds do, where the higher percentage is retro to dollar one. |
