Continental Flight Attendant Has 50 Years of Service

I know this is just a press release, but it’s pretty amazing nonetheless: a Continental flight attendant named Norma Heape will have her 50th anniversary with the airline this week, on a flight from Newark to Hong Kong. Pretty incredible when you consider all the upheaval in the industry (and that she’d still want to do the job after that long). Crazy.
