Now if someone can ban the larda$$es who always sit next to me on Southwest....

It’s OK to have standards, but forcing overweight stewardesses to wear sacks is cruel.

Yer grounded!

I notice the article doesn’t say how overweight these women are. 5 lbs? 10 lbs? 20 lbs? More?

My wife was a stewardess (that's what they were called in that era) and had a weight check at least once a month. Miss the weight check a couple of times and you were history. She only flew for a little over two years before becoming bored with it went on to new endeavors. Eventually becoming a senior v/p with a large well known media company.

Cannot render judgment without evidence.

As someone who has actually traveled on Air India and seen these flight attendants, let me ASSURE you that the ladies in question were all 50+ lbs overweight

This was not a question of someone being 10-20 lbs overweight.

Indian ladies wear this wrap called a Saree that has a lot cut blouse and a completely bare mid riff. It is spectacularly sexy on a slim young thing and amazingly non sexy on a lady that has six tires all sticking out.

Could we put them in charge in the usa.

Flight attendants are not sex symbols anymore. They are security and rescue personnel and must be athletic.

[ApplegateRanch]

Clearly a safety issue.

If the stewies are too large, the pilots can’t properly fly with them sitting on their laps.
