While SWR did include the phrase “line up 4L,” in his read back in response to ATC telling him to plan for a K3 departure at 4L, not clear if he actually intended to enter 4L as he did not use “line up and wait.” Regardless, ATC correctly noted the potential for SWR entering 4L and issued amended instructions to hold short 4L at K3. That’s how the system is supposed to work.
