According to my newest email from Delta Airlines, my preferred carrier (on which I’ve travelled over 250,000 miles in the last 10 years), effective March 15 they will no longer have pillows on their flights.

Thus they go the way of American Airlines, who had already removed their pillows. Apparently, they can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by not providing any pillows at all.

Unfortunately for me, airline pillows were what I used for lumbar support in their crappy coach seats. Two pillows behind my back, and I was comfortable for the entire trip, and didn’t have a back ache at the end of it.

Phooey.
