You can catch her on an American Airlines shuttle route between New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.

Bette Nash, 86, recently joined the ranks of world record holders in the Guinness Book of World Records, according to ABC News. This fall, Nash will celebrate her 65th anniversary as a flight attendant as she continues her work with American Airlines as a regular on the New York-Washington, D.C.-Boston Shuttle.

“You had to be a certain height, you had to be a certain weight,” Nash told WJLA back in 2017 during her 60th work anniversary. “It used to be horrible. You put on a few pounds and you had to keep weighing yourself, and then if you stayed that way, they would take ya off the payroll!” American Airlines posted an image to Facebook about a year ago showing Nash then and now, calling her an “#AATeam legend.” The company said, “She’s been flying with us for 64 years and has the longest flight attendant career in our history.”

In a press release celebrating Nash’s 60th anniversary with American Airlines back in 2017, the company said its most senior flight attendant has her choice of which routes she can fly. But, she continues to choose the shuttle route between Boston and Washington, D.C. because of her loyalty to the customers and her family’s needs.
