Longest served flight attendant-May 29

Bette Nash, world’s longest-serving flight attendant, dies at 88

A 16-year-old girl took her first flight in her life back in 1951. When she saw the pilot and flight attendant walk across the cabin of the TWA flight, then a mighty airliner, she found a lifetime dream. After graduating from college, she was hired by Eastern Air Lines in Miami in 1957. She mostly flew between Washington D.C., New York, and Boston so that she could take care of her son who suffered from Down syndrome. She kept flying and servicing passengers on various airlines as they dissolved or merged, including Eastern Air Lines, Trump Shuttle, USAir Shuttle, and finally American Airlines Shuttle. 

After working continuously for over six decades, she was named the longest-serving flight attendant by Guinness World Records in 2022. She had experienced many turbulences and technology changes in the airline industry over those years, including the September 11 attack in 2001, the paper-to-tablet transition, and the recent pandemic. She kept working until just a year before her death last month at the age of 88. Bette Burke Nash might have been one of the most frequently flown people in history and is now flying in heaven.
