We've never actually flown on Alaska Airlines, but it seems that the airline has an over thirty year tradition of giving passengers prayer cards with their in-flight meals. Seriously. They offer in flight meals! That in itself is a miracle.
You hand us a prayer card that quotes from Psalms with our sandwich and we're thinking "This baby is gonna crash." Back in the 1970s the head honchos at AA thought it was a great marketing ploy to set them apart from other airlines.
Recently fliers have started to complain about the prayer cards and starting on February 1st the airline will no longer offer them. Were people complaining because only the first class passengers have been getting them since 2006 or were they complaining because it's a bad idea to mix religion and travel? You decide.
