It didn't have magazines in the seat backs, which makes me think that they brought it straight from the hanger where something might have been getting fixed...
Still, saying something to the effect of "Hah! Better you than me!" when it comes to the vagaries of air travel is kinda like flashing the high, hard one to the heavens and shouting "Bring it!!"
