Great for a Flight Attendant to be recognized by Guinness. Congratulations to Ron for his career as a F/A. Guess that the lastformal bid before retirement was such a selection for Ron. Take care Ron
I just read this story on NBC.com....what a great story! and a great career for Mr Akana!
Ron is truly a nice guy. There is more about him here, including a nice video:

Not raining on his parade, but you wonder why the pilots have to pack it up at 65...
Duh! Big difference between walking up and down the aisles and take off and landing the aisles. If you have a heart attack in the cabin usually no one else could conceivably die but in the cockpit it could become problamatic. Is it raining yet?
Cause nobody will ride with them!!!! Just kidding of course. By 65 I hope they would be ready to do their own thing every day whether that is a plane, boat, garden, dozer, or all of the above.
Speak for yourself, young man! lol
