I also agree 100% that CO will be selling pillows/blankets onboard within the next year.

However, in light of the fact that CO is selling its premium mixers in F, does anyone think that there is a possibility that CO will actually make F customers pay for a pillow and blanket, assuming CO goes the 'sleep sack' route?

If CO will only be trimming $35m a year through the elimination of free meals and BOB transition, I have to believe the pillows/blankets cutback saves a pretty meager sum. It's a very cheap move by CO, more so than any recent 'cost savings' measure, IMO.
