Rumour or fact (and it appears to be the latter), this certainly is one of the most interesting things to come up on this forum in a while 
... a nice change of pace from the 'will my upgrade clear?' and 'MP is a fraud because I can't get four F seats to HI at Christmas' threads

I have sat next to (well, across the isle from as his favourite seat is 1C on the 767 international config) Mr Pillows on a flight from GRU-ORD. All that's said above is true, especially with regards to taking up the overhead compartment space with all the pillows 
The other First passengers and I had to fight for the remaining compartment space For other passengers paying Full Fare in First they must initially be put out by the amount of attention that Mr Pillows receives as he does get an awful lot of attention before he turns his seat into a fluffy pillow haven! However, on my flight he slept for the majority of the journey and the service returned to normal for the rest of the First cabin!

I understand that Mr. Pillows uses UA to South America, but whereever he has other options such as SQ to NRT or HKG or LH or BA or even LX to Europe he would be much better off using a different carrier.
I guess he flies Full F, but has route deals or some other discounts from UA and therefore is loyal to UA with his massive (pillow and milk) business.

Getting my pillows, blankets and milk on board those crampy CRJs is really a pain. I really need to start flying the heavies again.

And would those airlines allow the (temporary) service disruptions to other passengers (again, predominately also flying paid F) necessary in accomodating those requests?
