Maybe the guy asked?
Every time I've seen someone ask on DL, the FAs have been fine with it. (Does everyone miss that this is BRANDED MERCHANDISE?!!!). I've also seen D1 PAX just walk off with a blanket still around their shoulders.
Why should Delta stop someone who has just paid Delta a lot of money, from walking away with a low-cost item whose primary design goal is to advertize and brand Delta? Heck, I couldn't really spend more than a few $K more on Delta/year, but if a PAX wants to wake up on a red blanket that says Delta, Delta should be paying them to do it!
Oh wait-- this is a- an-- American Airlines forum, isn't it?

People sure do think in the weirdest of ways over here in AA-land.
As a business owner, I'd think that the more time I can spend encouraging a fan activity that imprints my brand in my customers' brains, and the brains of the people around them, all of whom might purchase more of my product as a result, the better for me.
But hey. I'm in it for the money.

Mind you, I just grabbed a bunch of Delta Adessi service sets with their 25% Black Friday discount... and having these available in the Delta store would be great... but if someone drops them in the guestroom, my guess is that Delta wins.
Would I take it on trips? It would compete with the 25th class reunion blanket!

Does that hubcap have a big MTA symbol on the side, and is it emblazoned with what are clearly MTA colors? I think the transit agent should be *just peachy* if people where to start putting said hubcaps on their cars.

Let's all agree it's absolutely horrible and despicable to take an AA blanket off the airplane.
But besides that, how many will admit that they actually have AA blanket(s) at home?
We don't need justification. Just a confession.
How many AA blankets do you have? If you have three or more, you're ahead of me.

Also recently used one to cover the airplane seats when we picked up a dog during a Pilots N Paws mission.

Remember NIKE sells shirts with its name.

Radisson, Hilton.... and boy I love those molded blue pens from Le Meridien... every one of these entities, will let me take as much of their branded merchandise as I want.
But the pillow or sheets? They ain't got Delta's name on 'em, so why bother?
