Ah, but to be fair: just because the company is enlightened enough to allow "controlled rest" (not all companies do) on the flight deck does not mean there has ever been a policy or obligation to provide bedding! If there happen to be spare pillows etc during the cruise I'll happily take advantage, however the point of the comment on the weekly report was that a few pilots are demanding these items as a matter of right, potentially leaving premium passengers without something they've paid for. It's all how you approach it and some of us are our own worst enemies. Regarding the CRC - you'd be hard pressed to make a valid safety argument for dragging extra bedding down to it; whats provided is adequate and meets all the US regs and advisories. Though its location doesn't.
On the other hand the point was poorly made - threats just alienate the audience.
