Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-76N sits on the runway readying for takeoff at Los Angeles International Airport.
Southwest Airlines is facing extra scrutiny from the FAA after a series of incidents.
  • The FAA is investigating Southwest Airlines after several in-flight incidents in recent months.
  • Southwest planes have descended to dangerously low altitudes, and one suffered a so-called "Dutch roll."
  • The airline said it was working with the FAA and that its safety procedures were "exceptional."

Southwest Airlines has recently had a few too many close calls when it comes to safety.
