Flying Never Gets Old!

80 years young, Bette Nash still takes to the skies. For almost 60 years, why is she still working as a flight attendant? As she says...why not?!

[@engrmichaelcarranza]

No one beats a person who loves his/her job! Way to go Bette! God bless you!

[@dirtybiker2661]

This lady has my utmost respect !!!

[@atpg5]

I am sorry I didnt know you. RIP Dear Betty

[@douglasdougherty7881]

I Am Proud To Say I Have Worked Alongside Betty. I Never Thought I Would Retire Before She Did. However, After 30yrs In 2016 I Retired Leaving Betty Still Going Strong. She Is A Class Act. She Is The Real Deal. Consider Yourself Very Lucky If You Are Fortunate Enough To Have Betty Serve You On Your Next Flight.👍🇺🇸

[@strnglhld]

Very cool!!! ❤

[@CherokeeXJ40]

She is such a blessing. Good old fashioned kindness and superb customer service.

[@tendies]

The quote to remember "at my age, people are dead".

[@politicalren4180]

I laughed so hard when she said it so causal. Then you realize it's true 😰

[@georgexfekete]

Iconic tho

[@Czech801]

Love her bubbly personality.My utmost respect & admiration. Wishing her good health & fly high the most friendly sky

[@bambamovo]

wow. she looks 20 years younger I guess doing what you love for a living helps.

[@margaretcabral535]

she don't look 80 she looks late 50s I kept a job I hated and ended up disabled a short 5 years later my family kept crying I would die in a crash in the air. I just died a different way keeping a low paying job I hated and could not afford to live on, long working hours, having 2 part time jobs with no benefits. 55hours but both no benefits and part time still could not afford a car or a apartment. a tiny room in a flop hotel my parents in a nursing home. My Aunt put them their not me but everyone wanted me to stay in town . Stuck in a dead end existance and that broke me down for disabilty, over work and no vacation for years did it.

[@CherokeeXJ40]

God bless her. What a beautiful person.

[@tada869]

Simply, I love this Lady!

[@vistaestrada]

Oh wow! This just made me evening. What an uplifting person who seems so happy to be doing what she loves.

[@yakrasengan741]

Wow ...incredible story...nice job😇

[@NorthSea_1981]

This lovely lady is a stunning example of a dedicated person who loves and lives their job. Someone should give her a free intercontinental First Class return flight (with a week or two of fully paid holiday in a good hotel) to an overseas destination of her choice- to acknowledge her commitment and to honour her, as a symbolic "thank you" for all those decades of hard work. Let her fly as a guest with an excellent flag carrier airline such as Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Emirates, Lufthansa, Finnair, JAL or whatever in that category...and let her enjoy a good luxurious experience, as long as she can. She deserves it!!!

[@patriciakeogh6634]

what an amazing woman !... great sense of humour as well.

[@MrLetmein2011]

What a wonderful woman !! Love and hugs to you Bette xxx

[@matthewbarry2079]

She is a national treasure and we must protect her. She knows so much history

[@itsbilly1285]

She inspired me and I get more and more motivation to continue flying!!

[@adrianamaclennan7832]

There’s something amazing about a woman who maintains her stamina in a job all these years

[@xx6474]

[@PthaloGreen2]

Amazing! Even Donald Trump could not destroy her. Rest in peace, Bette. You're my inspiration.

[@bambamovo]

Betty is amazing!!!

[@MichaelTurner-cd7er]

As a retired crew member I applaud you. You are just as beautiful now as you were then.

[@leanneb9529]

Beautiful lady💚💜💚 Does anyone know if she is still flying???

[@heatherj1127]

She is! She’s actually not the only AA flight attendant in their 80s either but she does have the most seniority. There are a few just a couple years behind her that started flying in the early 60s as well!

[@leanneb9529]

@@heatherj1127 Thanks for the info💖

[@MoonlightNikita]

Wow, this is what people said " You Go Girl!"

[@kennethperez4702]

Wonderful Flight Attendant

[@4september1947]

Beautiful Lady ♡♡♡

[@alisherri77]

That moment when you realize the food was better on planes 40 years ago then today....

[@rockycycle2682]

unforgiveable.

[@JMMT7022801]

Ali Sherri Now they make you starve. 😂😂

[@margaretcabral535]

they don't serve food now, you got to buy it. but the air tickets are very cheap , more expesive to go by train now. It was cheaper to go by train and the bus was the cheapest. If things had stayed the same, the common class would still be taking Grayhound buses Ticket from New York to Los Angeles on Couch would be about $3,000. now if they kept the things the same as 40 years ago. First and Business is about $5,000. $10,000. being a then type of Couch is not worth it so most upper class who have family of 8 or more go private jet costing about $10,000. each total jet $100,000. Los Angeles to New York or V/V Honolulu to New York is $20,000. First Class and private jet $200,000. The family or group of at least 8 goes private jet. One Person takes First Class Unless they are Millionaires and can pay $100,000. for one person to New York to Los Angeles or V/V pay $200,000. Honolulu to New York or V/V.

[@Bonkowski1999World]

Rip she passed away 😢 yesterday at 88

[@JMMT7022801]

PLEASE BRING BACK TWA!!! 😭😭

[@bosco4000]

Finally, she’s retiring this year…The medias and the public think she’s cute. Regardless of the reasons why she flew for so long, we need to think about our passengers safety.

[@x__x2633]

As a flight attendant years pass by so fast without even noticing. I worked as a flight attendant for 5 years it felt like a month.

[@kronhertz4956]

Flying was actually a privilege back then reserved for the well off. Even in the early 90s. Passengers would often wear suits onboard. Although the planes were smaller and holds less passengers, the seating and room leg were actually more spacious. Fast forward to 2016...Companies like Airbus and Boeing are trying to squeeze as many people as they can on-board turning it into a modern day slave cargo. Flying business and first class feels like the economy class now.

[@ianmarquezgarcia]

+Kron Hertz well not everyone cares about the leg space and seating room. some people just want to go on a cheap trip to somewhere

[@wilbleeker8222]

As a tall person, over 5'6" or 1.7m with a flight of 3 -14 hrs, leg space becomes a problem. Sadly, Slave Cargo, more accessible though it is, is a fitting description.

[@slatkismedenjak]

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST👍🎖👌💕👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👏💕💥

[@legolas7r]

That's so long , I can't bare to work at a work place more than 1 year . And to think she works there for 59 years :) ...

[@ankurjayawant1]

[@geromebrown7582]

[@leannestrong1000]

[@TheAirtrans]

Good Job Bette I am 83 12/31/ 1933 Keep going I am !!

[@strnglhld]

Very cool Theodore! Hope all is well with you also!!! ❤

[@astardustparade]

I wonder if she’s still working

[@Nomadicshunti1963]

Look at Singapore airlines where you get retired at early age

[@stevebob9464]

TELL THAT TO THE CORPSES STREWN THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE.

[@adam632]

RIP

[@leannestrong1000]

She doesn't look 80 years old!

[@DaciaProject]

Don't fly EgyptAir!

[@thecolorred1823]

Don't fly on any plane from an African or Middle Eastern county.

[@fahadalassaf8225]

+The color Red the four best airlines are from the Middle East

[@thecolorred1823]

+Fahad Alassaf so what if they're the nicest. When your in the Middle East there is a higher chance of workers being radicals like on the last two planes that were blown down the workers were radicals and handed bombs off to the suicide bombers.

[@ianmarquezgarcia]

+The color Red that is so not true. the change that they have western airlines as a target is in my opinion way bigger

[@jonathandpg6115]

also quite a few middle eastern airlines have a high high majority of non middle eastern employees

[@patrickpepin8577]

great story cnn

[@jackyblue67same10]

Back when there truely where ladies & she's still a lady not to many of those still left today.

[@525Lines]

Bye, bye, bu-bye, bye, bye, bu-bye, bye, bye, bye.

[@thufurmentat]

Because your plane is blown up

[@ProfessorLogics]

Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump

[@toonses4300]

please retire and spare the passengers from looking at you.

[@a.r.z9368]

+Toonses LOL

[@666j1]

+Toonses she looks pretty good for her age

[@sgayerichardson]

That was MEAN - even if it was in jest!Show us your photo so we can all judge you!No...you choose to hid behind a picture of your cat!

[@toonses4300]

sgayerichardson I'm hideous. Why would I do that.

[@margaretcabral535]

I thought so, glad you admit it then you should not ask her to retire.
