Goes back to the 08 incident, IIRC. I've found a couple of different secondary sources that speak of doubt in the FAA's enforcement of SWA's maintenance failures, right around the time of the $10.5M fine, but that fine and the consequent settlement seems to draw all the attention away from the FAA question.
