AA and UAL were sued over that in the late 90's IIRC (they won). They did their own medicals, to significantly higher standards than the FAA. When the FAA dropped requirement, they kept it.
I suspect DAL had the same policy and probably others.
SWA takes your first class medical and makes a copy, no worries there.
