SWA would not honor the card for in cockpit J/s. US customs, and TSA honors it, but not SWA.
Here is the answer:

"No Passport cards. Numbers are different and we have a long standing policy of no passport cards for CASS."

SWA still allows "cabin only" if no or expired passport if seats are available. Some other airlines will deny any access.
