sixmilehighclub,
As a virgin atlantic crew member I do take slight offence at your remarks regarding Virgin crew members. I have worked for Virgin for 8 years and have come across fellow crew members of all shapes and sizes. Cabin crew are employed on their ability and experience not purely on looks alone. I am often astounded at the education and training that some of my colleagues have had prior to working for Virgin. Not all of us are dollies but hard working (and approachable) women who enjoy our job thoroughly. And yes even some of us battle with our weight on a regular basis so can sympathise with the original post. My interview was so long ago that I cant recall whether I was weighed or not but as previously stated the general rule of thumb is height in proportion with weight.
I would like to wish the original poster the best of luck, it is a fantastic life and although challenging, reaps many benefits. I have had many happy times and still continue to do so. Good luck
