Oh, don't worry. We'll get prayer cards back in about 50 years.....

.....once America is totally Islamic.

If people don’t like getting the prayer card, they can just open the door and get off...

Seriuosly, though, I’ve never flown Alaska Airlines, but I’m sorry to hear that they’re stopping this.

Having been a passenger in a 737 landing on a gravel strip... I think they need to keep the prayer cards.

Flying in Alaska is like nowhere else, except maybe Siberia.

The morning after 9/11 I was on the Metro Rail going from Springfield to Rosslyn ~ which took me right through the Pentagon platform.

When we got to National Airport station a Korean fellow got on board and immediately began singing hymns!

They were very nice hymns and he was a great singer.

We were ordinarily all very quiet on the Springfield/Franconia line ~ just a custom ~ so we were startled, but we listened. There were murmurings. "If he starts singing 'Nearer My God to Thee'..... jump him!"

Having been hauled in the back end of an Alaskan Airlines cargo plane, the landing needed a few prayers, let me tell you. Sheesh.

I am in Alaska, and therefore I fly. Alaska Air is my carrier and I have always appreciated their timely flights and attentive cabin crew. I always looked forward to finding the cards in question on my meal tray; what is the problem with just ignoring or discarding it if you don't agree. There is no coercion in involved. The thought occurs to me that we are guaranteed freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. AA is a private corporation, not a government operation. How is it that a vocal, bullying minority can force the airline to discontinue these simple expressions. In forcing AA to discontinue these cards is in itself a violation of freedom of religion as well as freedom of speech.

What's up? I've been flying Alaska for about three years now and never have seen a prayer card. Didn't know there was such a thing. This is Hawaii to mainland flights
