The nurse requirement lasted until World War II. At the start of the war, U.S. military need for nurses made it almost impossible for the airlines to hire sufficient numbers of nurses for stewardess positions. Hence, the airlines opened the positions to non-nurses.

El requisito empezó en 1930 cuando:

A nurse from Iowa, Ellen Church wanted to become an airline pilot but realized that wasn’t possible for a woman in her day. So in 1930 she approached Steve Stimpson at Boeing Air Transport with the novel idea of placing nurses aboard airliners. She convinced him that the presence of women nurses would help relieve the traveling public’s fear of flying.
