In the event of an emergency, would you prefer your FA be wearing heels or flats when he or she needs to help you off the aircraft? My non-FA friend ruined a great pair of Chanel high-heel sandals coming down the wing slide in an emergency evacuation (on the landing at the end of the slide, true story) & now flies mostly in flats.
