Now I know it is wrong to generalize but 9 times out of 10, if she's wearing a hat....well, never mind....
OK, I can kind of see where you're coming from. Somebody ordering the hat probably takes the overall persona of an FA pretty seriously - and that can be both a good thing and a bad thing. From the pax perspective, I think we just like the hats and the slight bit of nostalgia that comes with them.
