In this handout provided by Alaska Airlines, prayer cards of the type given to passengers on their meal trays are seen. After 30 years of giving passengers spiritual words to reflect on while they eat their meals, Alaska Airlines is retiring the prayer cards on Feb 1, 2012. Airline spokeswoman Bobbie Egan says the decision was made after hearing from customers who preferred not to mix religion with transportation. She says the cards began as a marketing ploy to differentiate the regional airline from its competitors. The cards offer a rotating message of different psalms from the Old Testament.
