Post 4/25 are there any reports of Autopilot Kits being handed out on legacy VX flights in F?

Didn't get one on my transcon last week. Though they all went away a while ago?

And no blankets in F on ANC- LAX.

Come on, stop being so #%×*= cheap. #southofexpected

Alaska could start by offering autopilot kits and blankets on redeyes in F. It would go a long way by showing Alaska does care.

Dark & light blue are Alaska.

Purple and grey are Virgin America.

They were branded VX & were purple. The pillow was very useful.

Maybe they're only giving out blankets on transcon flights in F?

Thanks for the updates. Just shifted to a SEA-LAX on an AS airbii series aircraft in F... took 2A will be my first time in those seats.

Should be a nice ride.

You’re going to love it. The bad news is, the VX F seats spoil you and make it really hard to go back to AS F.

I know OT but i did a red-eye on VX F after flying AA Premium Economy. I had a much easier time getting comfortable and sleeping on AA in bulkhead w/ leg rest than my red-eye on VX F
