As ex-SKW, I still do it if I travel on them. I don't do it on other airlines because I'm not in tune with their cultural nuances.
The JB thing seems like a management power trip, I don't blame guys who have to do it so they can commute to work, but other than that they should decline just to make the point.

I nominate the passenger on a southwest flight that shoehorned herself into the middle seat next to me from BWI last week. She then proceeds to sniffle and pop cough drops the entire flight. Three days later I come down with a terrible cold. She was one of the last ones on a full flight with nowhere for me to move. And I was on a paid ticket so I wasn’t just lucky to be getting a ride.
