Former flight attendant nurses new ambition

Priorities changed after emergency landing for woman who has made caring her career

Mid-air preparations for a crash landing launched a young flight attendant onto a new career path in nursing. The emergency, due to faulty landing gear, ended high-flying ambitions and saw Sun Xiaolin change jobs to care for those on the ground and not enclosed in a cabin at 10,000 meters.

Sun Xiaolin said she had never thought she would leave the career that she had been aiming for since childhood.
