Guinness World Records recognizes Betty Nash as the longest-serving flight attendant

When Betty Nash started in 1957, one of her favorite routes — New York to D.C. — cost just $12. This fall, the 86-year-old will count 65 years of securing passenger safety.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. As of tomorrow, Betty Nash will claim the title of the longest-serving flight attendant in history. When she started in 1957, one of her favorite routes, New York to D.C., cost just 12 bucks². Back then, flight attendants were called stewardesses³, she had to weigh in before each shift to stay on the payroll⁴, and she used to pass out cigarettes and matches after the meal service. This fall, the 86-year-old will count 65 years of securing passenger safety. It's MORNING EDITION.
