They're certainly easy on the eyes...

"If by perseverance, the snail could reach the Ark, why can't these worthy ladies stand on and turn the scale."I think this line lost something in the trnaslation.

I agree with this policy, the only thing worse than getting hit by the beverage cart is getting side swiped by a fat stewardess - I mean flight attendant.
To: Rutles4Ever
If safety doesn’t get them to slim down, how about a carbon surcharge? Make them buy carbon credits for all the extra co2 generated hauling the excess baggage around the friendly skies.

Same rules in the 50’s when my Mom was a stew...they weighed them everyday.

the last couple of times I’ve flown Delta internationally, the term “wide-body” didn’t only apply to the aircraft..every one, and I mean every one of the flight attendants were “waistline challenged”. they were surly, impatient and obnoxious..I switched to United. Much friendlier and better food IMHO..

I fly LOTS and frankly, I have wondered if some of the cabin attendants would be a help or a hindrance in times of trouble. Blocking the aisle isn’t a good thing.

They need to enforce this in the US as well. Between the porky stewardesses and the poofers, flying has become much less pleasant.

I guess that means Al Gore has to pay extra carbon surcharges to fly :))

"They need to enforce this in the US as well." They tried, then the courts decided the weight limits were discriminatory because they had different guidelines for men and women.
Liberal courts, gotta love um.

(That's right, I have no proof. So what of it??)
To: pissant
I think we should have half naked hetero men - like firemen or fighter pilots, yeah... that’ll make me wanna fly more often.
Maybe make them wear cute little caps on their heads and denim shorts...
Yeah - that’ll work.
What was the subject again?
To: #1CTYankee
If the flight attendant can perform her/his duties - who cares what they look like!
Their primary function is SAFETY.
GAAAAAAHHHHHH!
To: #1CTYankee
Hooters can do it in their restaurants, it sure as hell should be legal for airlines.

Yes, that would be an airline based out of SF with direct flights to NYC and Miami and Seattle.

I care. So do airlines, at least they did before the courts told them they can’t care.
