Thanks to that special duty, flight attendant spends more time with the passengers to provide personilized service during the duration of flights. The career of flight attendant has a rich and colorful history. The work started as early as the first air passenger made his travel in the early 1920's. The United Airlines was the first to hire stewardesses as nurses who were responsible for passengers with air sick on the plane.
