Whether or not there were issues with CRM or in the approach, there is no evidence at this time that either pilot had struggled through their training or were anything less than qualified for their positions. The wing tip struck the runway after which the wing and the tail separated and the fuel from the wing caught fire.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has posted its Preliminary Report on the runway incursion and near-collision involving a Flexjet Challenger 350 and a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 at Chicago Midway Airport (KMDW). Further confusing the issue, what used to be Runway 31R is now Taxiway H, so there is no longer a Runway 31R.

Specifically, as the aircraft was still around three miles from the intended landing runway (28L), it descended all the way down to 275 feet, according to flight tracking software Flightradar24. The plane was on a visual approach, and the autopilot was turned off several miles out, so the pilots were hand flying.

A no-flaps landing generally requires more runway for stopping, with the distance that can increase by as much as 50% depending on the aircraft and conditions.
