Flight attendant grounds herself after 54 years with American Airlines
Carole DiSalvo, 75, sits in the engine of a new American Airlines Boeing 777-300 ER at American's maintenance facility at D/FW Airport. DiSalvo, who began work as a flight attendant at American in November 1958, retired last week after more than 54 years in the skies. Great job, Great timing Carole !

She had a very successful history... I am sure she could tell us all some real stories over different things she has seen. I wish her well in her retirement... She looks like a person who very much enjoyed their job.
Good for her. Rare in this day and age where a person stays with one company that long.
Plus, she is a good looker. Thanks Carole, you are an inspiration !
I was hoping by submitting this, that those of us on FLightaware could honor her with
respect. Anyone who can show up with a smile and really care and serve people for so long deserves it. Just in case she came across this page, It would have been nice if some of you could have left your comments in your head, and not here. I've spent many years flying for work and pleasure, and women and men like Carole Disalvo are the ones that make flying so great. I guess I'm a bit jaded at this point, but when I was 4 years old I flew for the first time on Pam Am - LAX - i think Halifax - LHR flight
and I'll never forget how the Flight Attentandat treated my brother and I, from the cockpit tour, wings pinned on our shirts, and then she made a tent with a blanket over our chairs so we could sleep. I WAS IN LOVE :) It was 1966 so I'm sure it was a women about the same age and caliber as Carole Disalvo. So .. Hat's off to the great ones of us all who provide more than just (gettin by job performance) and go beyond our job description every day....

I agree! 1961 on Panagra to Talara, Peru (I was 8). These are wonderful people who have kept me and my family safe over a couple of million miles.
Wow! All I can say is congratulations on a long and enjoyable career.
I can just imagine some of the stories she must have, and I hope she puts pen to paper because I think it would make for some great reading.
