I saw the blog post when I was in SAN, so on the MAX8 flight back to SFO, asked the FA at boarding. Was told she’d check with the captain. Came back to my seat before take off and said we don’t have any for this type, but these are collectors items and gave me a couple of the older-style 747 cards. So that’s kind of neat. Did have the Captain come back to Y during a domestic 777 flight a few years ago, stopping by all the rows with kids to say hi and give out the cards.

would love to find the new ones - so I’ll ask on my future flights - have a 738 and 7M8 flight in a couple of weeks so I’ll see what I can find.

hmm..I guess as asked about upthread, UA doesn’t have to market them too much.
