Or really any Asian carrier.
The attendants are just going to have get taller....
Guess that is a more polite way of saying they are too ugly to fly.
Hire jockeys.
Does Air India still have the “bare midriff” uniforms? I mean..if so, it’s all out there to see..Spandex won’t work
BMI is a crock of shit. Even the inventor of it admitted that it was not an exact measure of anything. It’s sad that employers use it for anything. My employer offers employees discounts on their health insurance premiums if they meet certain criteria.
Every year I meet 6 out of 7 but consistently can’t get under their 26% BMI number despite a medically-certified body composition test certifying I’m at 23%. They only weigh us and measure our height and use the garbage graph that shows I’m at 31% despite being 6’2” with a 1-rep bench max of 315 and run a 6 minute mile.
Muscle is more dense and thus heavier than fat. These charts don’t account for that or bone density.

Can’t say anything about an Air India stewardess, that’s a sacred cow...
Indeed. . .most of the world is not restrained from dismissing those that do not project an attractive image.
I fly frequently. I’ve seen gawd-awful “flight attendants” on US-based airlines. Have not seen anything less than a 9 on Singapore or Emirates. And they are NICE, too.
On American Airlines it is the norm to encounter fat and rude flight attendants. One I saw was so fat she literally had to turn sideways to “walk” (waddle) down the aisle (B737).
Even saw a pre-op tranny working as a “stewardess” one one flight. . .yuck.
Another was too short to reach into the over-head bins (nice violation of safety regulations).
In all cases, they were surly and rude and acted like you were an interruption in their day.
Their rudeness can be attributed to becoming a stewardess many-many years ago with the hope of snagging a pilot, then after decades of being used by said pilots, they are no longer catching a pilots’ eye and their feet hurt and they are unionized and stay when the younger, more eager and nicer stewardesses are let go. . .so they take it out on the passengers. (Of course, passengers bring a lot of this down on themselves).
Bring back the day of beautiful stewardesses (not “cabin crew” or “flight attendant). It would do wonders in making (almost) tolerable the outrages inflicted by TSA.
USAirways desperately needs to implement this plan. :)
I miss it too. Everyone bathed and wore nice clothes.
Just hide `em in the Bombay
