Bette Nash, aged 82 is the oldest flight attendant in the world. She has been in the profession since 1957. When she started her profession, the tickets costed $12, ad schedules were put up on chalkboards, and Dwight D. Eisenhower ran the White House.
Nash reminisces about flying with Kennedys and serving platters full of lobsters and carved meats.
“My favorite part of flying over the years has been greeting my passengers as they board and deplane. People really are fascinating,” she says.
Still strong enough to drag ill passengers and carry out CPR, Nash shares that she has no plans of retiring anytime soon.
Throughout her long career, Nash has made long-lasting relationships and friendships with her passengers.
In a ceremony to acknowledge her services, her boss Jill Surdeck gifted her diamond earrings and left her in happy tears.
