Sounds like a standard night landing to the north at MCO.
MCO APPROACH
"DAL 123, expect rwy 36 L."
"Roger, any chance of 35L?"
"DAL 123 , you'll get nothing and like it, plan on 36L."
MCO TOWER
"DAL 123, do a left 360, I need to get a Southwest jet out wrong direction."
"Roger, and chance of 35L?"
"DAL 123, plan on 35 right."
"Roger"
ON SHORT FINAL
"DAL 123, 35 L is available."
The joys of MCO.
