At first I thought, What a terrible idea.

Then after reading the comments from those that would welcome any revenue stream that would lower fare prices I got to thinking that perhaps they were right. Perhaps you should be given the option of flying for 20% off if you keep paging through books of ads and filling out surveys etc during your flight. Infact maybe if the airline entered in to enough partnerships and sold every inch of blank space aboard and had you register for various CC offers and phone deals etc ad nausem (literally), maybe, just maybe with the right amount of creativity, perseverance, and Visine one could actually earn money taking a plane trip. (trip dollar conga anyone?)

I on the other hand will still be one of the paying customers and if necessary will avail myself of the eye-shades that are issued on board (unless of course they have an ad on the eye side in large fluorescent letters).
