(I do it from time to time on SWA with no issue. I do it on Delta as well, with a specific rule against it, and have never had a problem either.)
The COC for DL, UA, AA, and AS (at least), expressly prohibit hidden city ticketing as well as a series of other ticketing schemes.

The COC for WN does not.

As a customer you do not need WN's permission, implied or express, to engage in this practice. You simply may not engage in a prohibited practice which you agree, by contract, agree not to.

Bottom line, it is not against the rules. Until and unless WN chooses to amend its COC to prohibit hidden city ticketing, you are doing nothing wrong. Period.
