At 86, American Airlines’<\/strong> Bette Nash is recognized as the world’s oldest and longest-serving Flight Attendant, according to Guinness World Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nash began flying in 1957 and will celebrate 65 years of flight this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She can choose any route she wants and for most of her career she has been loyal to the New York-Washington-Boston service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nash prefers this route because she says it allows her to be home every night with her disabled son, whom she continues to care for to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she started flying, she says passengers bought life insurance from a vending machine before boarding and the airline checked her at home to make sure she wasn’t living with a man because flight attendants had to be single. The airline also weighed her before shifts and could suspend her if she gained too much weight, Nash told ABC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nash began flying with Eastern Airlines, and through various mergers, including with Donald Trump’s airline in the late 1980s, she ended up with American Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nash still attends regular flight attendant training under Federal Aviation Administration rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
