3. ARTICLE: FLIGHT NURSES, PAST AND PRESENT

In 1930, BAT, the predecessor to United Airlines, hired eight nurses to work as stewardesses for a three-month trial period. Its ploy: It must be safe to fly if nurses do it. Today there are about 3,000 civilian flight nurses in the US. Will nurses return to flight attendant duty? Will history repeats itself? You be the judge.
