And I'll bet dollars to donuts, if they didn't vacuum, they didn't disinfect. In fact, I know they didn't, because both tray tables (mine and center) were covered with pretzel crumbs.

I did, so yes.

In a changing environment, clarity is a good thing.

(Other carriers have stopped blocking middle seats, so it's only a matter of time before Southwest does as well.)

They are blocking middles until at least October 31.

WN doesn't block seats. They are limiting sales.

But they are telling people not to sit in middle seats except with people in their traveling party.

That's not seat blocking.

Again, WN limits sales. Some other carriers (e.g., DL) are actually blocking seats.

Since they don't assign seat numbers they can't really block seats, can they. But who in their right mind would take a middle seat in this day, when there's space not to?
