One thing that I noticed today is Southwest having flight attendants trying to pitch credit cards for a special in-flight offer. I remember seeing ads for cards in the past (such as when they had a magazine), but have never seen it pitched in this manner on Southwest before (as I have on American and United). Is this a new thing? Is this an Elliott-inspired change?

I was also curious about the switch from plastic to paper cups. I was not sure whether it is a cost saving measure or if it is for enviornmental reasons.
