Carol Fair, American's most senior active flight attendant, retires October 26, 2026 after more than 63 years, taking her final flight from London to Charlotte at age 83.
“Congrats to Fair, and may she have some enjoyable and healthy years in retirement!” Well said, Ben.
In my experiences flying with these three American airlines, the older flight attendants are usually the best.
What does a flight attendant who no longer flies but hasn’t retired do? Do they train others or advise on things or??
@ jak -- I suspect they might technically be on some sort of a health leave, or something.
Carol Fair needs to do a guest post with all of her advice on how to beat jet lag, how to pass the time during flight delays, who really gets the armrest, etc...
Sure thing! That would be perfect for the community reviews section. "An insider's view: AA"
