That doesn’t look like a serious safety problem to me- but I’m not an expert
Do you work for Boeing?
Obviously not. Why would they admit that this is a problem of any kind? It is expected operation.
It's not. The cowling is like the hood of a car. Highly likely Southwest maintenance people didn't button it up all the way after an inspection.
