She appears in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-serving flight attendant. Nash explained to Travel + Leisure:"I wanted to be a flight attendant from the time I got on the first airplane. The average contract for an American flight attendant in the 1950s was two and a half years. "I'm so pleased to be here in the terminal where I decided I wanted to be a flight attendant and to be here celebrating my 60th anniversary, still wanting to be a flight attendant, means the world to me. Being a flight attendant is not an easy job, physically or mentally, but she still continued way beyond the normal lifespan of a flight attendant job.
