Speaking of which I actually heard a hostie use the term " hatrack" on a recent flight to CCU !
I thought that was more 60'ish !
And no I wasn't speaking of the Quantas ones anyways. In India, quite contrary to what I see in the US and Europe, the CC has an average age of 27-28 and they are pretty eager to do a good job ! Hence I come across more smiling ones than the regular international traveller.
Managed to make a Delta hostie on a red-eye flight actually laugh once !
