So I haven't found anything about how recently Southwest acquired this aircraft, but unless it's really very new I'm pretty sure this is going to be more the fault of their maintenance department, and the fact that it's another Boeing 737 is coincidental and unsurprising given how big a percentage of all airliners operating today ARE some version of the 737.
