But flight attendants don't dole it out from a cart like gruel...
...turning the tie right side out--take about an hour. "The flexibility to reproduce something if it's doing well or to not produce a lot of something if we don't know it's going to do well has a benefit on top of the bare cost of producing that one tie," says Del Vecchio.
