It’s an internet meme and will be gone just as quick as Delta trading cards, Hawk Tuah girl, and United breaks guitars.
Oh, they’re still very much a thing, the trading cards are.

I learned that's a good way to talk to an FA at F9. I have dozens of those cards, a cool thing they do IMO.

Snagged this pic last week on my way to Texas. Round-trip I got the window seat, and that thing stayed up the entire flight, much to the chagrin of those around me.
Like a row of cabbagesKeep it open!
I’m dismayed that a large percentage of my daytime flights have the lights basically OFF and the windows closed and it’s like 160 people sitting down in rows, silently, staring forward motionless like Qin Shi Huang‘s Terracotta Warriors.
Time for Madonna to update her riff, eh? "I'm living in a non-material world?" Just doesn't quite have the same old zing.As a kid I was a nerd about the inflight magazine. The route maps and fleet info were my favorite pages, followed by the food/drink pages. I would always take the complimentary copy home, and it became a memento for that trip.
As the pandemic started, everyone started ditching this common touch item. My shop was gone quickly and never brought it back. Same with Delta. AA hung on a bit, but gone. And now, the last remaining United Hemisphere magazine will be no more.
A sad end to a wonderful amenity post pandemic. RIP inflight magazines in this country. You brought joy to a kid and added to his collection of aviation stuff.

You failed to pack enough toilet paper. You have died of dysentery.
I told a coworker that no one had mobile phones when I was in college and she asked what we would do if we wanted to hang out with someone on the far side of campus.
I told her we’d hitch up the oxen to the wagon but it would take months and half of us would die trying to float a caulked wagon across a river because we were too cheap to pay for the ferry.
She didn’t get the reference.
I used to say this then my bladder had different plansI will always and forever (if I'm paying) book a window seat, and the window shade will stay up. Preferably on either side back by the trailing edge flaps. I still love seeing those double slotted fowler's come out and retract. Even though full flap landings are such a rare thing in today's day. I'm still a geek, ha! When I get money, I might move up front to First Class lay flat. Lol.
