Can a CP fly if the base ticket no shows?

There is some missing logic here. Letting the companion fly free is still the companion. It is still limited to ONE SPECIFIC person. There is no "Friends" involved at all. Nobody asked about letting a friend fly. One person BOUGHT a ticket, and was going to still PAY for the ticket even if they did not fly. The legitimate companion still wanted to fly.

I actually don't really see why WN would care all that much if the CP holder didn't fly, if their systems could make sure not to give the funds back. I mean, I'm sure they'd prefer to sell the companion a walk up fare instead, but I feel like it's gotta be a rareish use case. If the primary passenger didn't actually expect to fly, you'd figure most people would just book the companion their own flight initially instead.
