    She will die doing what she loves.
    A real life success story.
    She looks great at 80. When I read the title, I briefly thought she was only 60.

    I remember her. When my nephews were 2 & 3 and would not stop crying on the plane because "they both wanted to sit with their Mom" we tried everything to stop them from crying and apologized to the passengers on the plane immensely. She came out and played with them and gave them both "Wings" and that worked until we landed. Everyone thanked her. Those same nephews are now 25& 26, college graduates with professional careers in banking and law enforcement

    Kudos to all flight attendants. I fly 25-30 times a year for the last 7 years mostly coach sometimes business and have always encountered nothing but true professionalism no matter the airline. Respect in this world is a two way street. Give and you will get. Too bad a lot of people in this day and age feel that rules do not apply to them and throw a tantrum like a 2 year old when they are called out on breaking the rules and then want a lawsuit. Society is plunging downward as a whole.

    Contrary to public perception, flight attendants are not trolley-pushers and beverage dispensers. They are, primarily, crew members with specific and extremely important tasks in case of the an emergency (cf. US Airways 1549). Far from "cute", this video is a celebration of flight safety dispositions "bending" and, as such, it begs a question that should be addressed by the FAA and other global regulatory agencies: Given the verifiable frailty of this crew member will she be able to perform her duties in an emergency or will she, herself, become another assistance-requiring-hotspot for passengers and fellow crew members during such an event?

      JE ENN Aviaition is 24/7 so you will be working the busiest holidays, be up at 3 am or 10 pm, work for 14-17 hours straight, dealing with each passenger individually which is emotionally abd physically draining, dealing with rude and mad passengers who yell at you for no reason, your up on your feet all day,no real breaks for food or rest unless you get delayed at the airport, dealing with different altitudes and time zones and different environments from the outside, you get sick often because people are dirty and nasty and unclean and you have to clean the aircraft after every turn, you get paid shit money for the job you do and only get paid once you fly, you have yo deal with emergency situations (which is your main focus and job), half of the month I'm not home so you can't have pets or it's really hard to have kids/pets.

      Fernando Salas Slim and petite. She’s in great shape. You can tell it by the way she moves.

      80 doesn't equal handicapped. She doesn't even need glasses for Pete's sake.....

    She needs to write a book or something. Her story is a valuable part of aviation history!
