Air traffic controllers in Oklahoma City received a low altitude alert for Southwest Airlines flight 4069 as it approached Will Rogers World Airport just after midnight local time on 19 June. The aircraft had been cleared for an approach to the airport’s Runway 13 when it descended to approximately 525 feet above the ground about 9 miles from the airport.

Maybe he doesn't know the aviation rule of thermodynamics. "When the heats on someone else it isn't on you!"
He should not worry to much. Delta or American will come along soon to take over the hotspot. Delta actually started the trend.

More likely they lined up on I-40. It almost aligns with rwy 13 at 9 DME.
