Which (if any) US airlines give out eye masks on their domestic red-eye flights?
Do you have to ask for them, or do they just offer them?

None at all. Bring your own or buy at airport.
Actually, that's not true. I know that JetBlue gives them out if you are flying an overnight long-distance flight from west to east. Not sure about other routes.

Why does it matter? Eye shades are very inexpensive. Buy a pair and then you can fly any airline you want . . .
As Doug notes, JetBlue is the only one that gives them out for free. They also provide earplugs.
That being said, the throw-away masks you get on an airline are usually uncomfortable. I prefer to spend $10 every so often on a good pair. The comfort difference is big enough that I bring my own pair, even when flying internationally in a premium cabin where they will give me an eye mask.
janisj—Obviously I wanted to know and figured Fodorites could help answer the question, or I would not have asked. I certainly do not choose airlines based on whether or not they give out eye masks. Please do not be judgmental.
travelgourmet—Actually, one time when I flew KLM they gave out a mask that I felt was not at all uncomfortable.
Thanks Doug and travelgourmet for your answers. I had read that JetBlue gave them out on eastbound red-eye flights but did not know if anyone else did.
"I certainly do not choose airlines based on whether or not they give out eye masks. Please do not be judgmental."
Judgmental? I merely asked 'Why does it matter?' . . .
Maybe you collect airline memorabilia - and a jetBlue eye shade is missing from your collection??? I have a few I could send you.
janisj—
Sorry. I read "why does it matter?" as "that's a stupid question", not "why do you ask?".

TJ MAXX has great comfortable eye masks for around $10USD.
Get the kind of eye mask that has "bubbles" over the eye area so that you can blink without difficulty.
