My source is Beat of Hawaii.

They were one of the first to report the news when Southwest was recruiting an ETOPS Program Manager and that they have their sights firmly focused on Hawaii with the 737-800 "ETOPS Enabled" order. Considering that ETOPS certification is a lengthy and complicated process, Southwest gets that, considering that no locations of which I’m aware, other than Hawaii, would necessitate Southwest’s obtaining an ETOPS certificate.
