Southwest Airlines is under scrutiny following two separate incidents involving its 737 aircraft. In one incident, two 737 Max engine issues prompted Boeing to issue a warning to pilots. In another, a Southwest Airlines 737-800, flight #WN4069, descended to 400 feet, 9 miles from landing at Oklahoma City Will Rogers World Airport yesterday, triggering a low altitude alert from Air Traffic Control. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the low-flying incident.
