American tosses pillows off most domestic flights
i just so happen to know that, british trans atlantic flights they do put
the dirty blankets in the hold, and clean ones taken out of the hold. Assumming the A330 can hold 24 business class and 220 ecomony they would in that flight carry 48 business and 440 economy blankets but i noticed the american airlines comming over here, tell the cleaners to refold the dirty ones. any that are missing they told to break the new ones from the sealed bags so they all look the same. i've seen it being done and just wondered why the american policies are just to refold and the UK policy is to get new ones. "nobody" wrote in message ... ~~ Ray ~~ wrote: when a flight comes to the UK from america, during the turnaround blankets from the inbound flight are just refolded and reused. Next time you're on such a flight, pay attention to the way they collect blankets after a flight and what sort of container they put in in. Consider how much time it would take for a crew to fold 300 blankets neatly. Blankets are most likely taken out and "procecessed", and different blankets brought in, pre-folded and looking "new". What that "processed" really means is the question. Could be just some machine that folds the blankets automatically with a bit of steam to press it into shape, could be dry cleaning, could be a lot of things. |

Is this ALL American carriers, or just AA or UA? i've seen it being done and just wondered why the american policies are just to refold and the UK policy is to get new ones.

when i say american i mean the following airlines..... AA, US, CO &
Delta..... i've watched or been told that was the system. Even the Business Class ones are refolded and reused, but rest be assured the pillow cases are changed though. But saying this you should se the state some of these are in, for a test we kept on seeing some similiar marks on pillows and wondered how long a pillow was in service, so we ended putting names on then and dated them. As far as i know from friends, my pillow is still doing its round after 3 years. But i been told its comming to its sell by date now, cause they now have to put 2 pillows together otherwise its too flat on its own.
