Gee....and I thought the airlines just didn’t want a bunch of flaming male queers prissing down the aisles.

Ever notice on cruise ships? A real lot of staff is Phillipino. Some have speculated their size is a plus for providing for the crew’s needs.

If it’s a nickel per kilo per hour, figure 1000 flight hours per year per attendant, or $50 for every kilo overweight.

The solution is not to discriminate, but to have a weight surcharge so that tinier FAs get more pay than heavier ones.

Compared to a 100 lb gal, a 210 lb guy would be paid $5500 less. Probably enough difference to seek work elsewhere given India discount air carrier salaries.

What are they intending to do? Burn the women as an alternative fuel source?

the part that bugs me is that I weight 145 lbs, and if I carry baggage over 50 lbs, there is a penalty....but if the next passenger weights in at 200 lbs and has 50 lb they are free to go....

Every 28 days one of them has to stay home.

So, they save the equivalent of 6 gallons of fuel? Retarded. Simply retarded.

I’ve got an idea.... midget pilots and copilots! You’d shave off a couple hundred pounds right there.

Homosexual male flight attendants played a “seminal” role in spreading HIV around the world. People that have a hobby of becoming butt blood brothers, sometimes a thousand times over, should not be in flying cattle cars visiting a hundred cities every month. Male flight attendants helped indirectly kill 500,000 in America alone. This pales in comparison to the other risks of airline travel.

They can also squeeze by each other or let a passenger through much easier in the aisle and doorways

hire tall slim women for safety...

at the very least it makes business travel less boring

“hiring slim women as cabin crew — it saves fuel”

hmmm, I can think of another characteristic that would let them save money on flotation devices as well!

(that’en there don’t need no life vest, she couldn’t sink if she wanted to.)
