This thought has crossed my mind too.
You know folks - my travel bag is already big enough - I don't have room for a friggin pillow. My ex makes fun of me, he flies trAAsh (where they do give out free pillows) and claims I can't pack like a road warrior, what ever. There is just no room for a blanket and pillow in my travel bag. (if anyone has suggestions, being them on. I hate inflatable pillows)

The point is this - people like to be comfortable. And to quote Tony Robbins " people will generally do things that give them pleasure". Sitting next to he door on an almost 6 hour flight freezing is not fun. What is even more unfun is not having any means to keep warm, other than to "keep your feet away from the vent" as the FA who was sitting in front of me suggested. Are you kidding me?

The free food was horrbile anyway - I am glad that is gone. Bring pillows back in first class, and for folks at the back - have the option to buy a blanket and or pillow.

Also I think selling anything in First Class is de classe, this includes premium mixers. I would be so embarased.
