My guess would be that if WN had a policy it would have to be to ban seat saving. Explicitly allowing it would probably erode the revenue from EBCI. And they don't really need a policy explicitly disallowing it because 1. it probably isn't something that WN really cares about because it's not as big of a deal that it's made out to be here, 2. there would likely be exceptions so now you have to deal with those, and 3. FA's already have a way to deal with it when people can't behave. Just my 2 cents.
