I’m not disputing that happened yet it feels like there’s a “rest of the story”. To my knowledge SWA only flies into towered fields and while the tower is operating, in which case Tower can clear them for whatever and the reg cited here doesn’t apply. But maybe they fly somewhere/sometime non-towered that I’m not aware of.There was a Southwest pilot violated for making a right dog-leg onto a 3 mile final, so the best information we have is that the FAA considers 3 miles out to be "in the vicinity of the airport"
