I can't believe some of the things being said on here!
How can some of you be soooooo narrow minded, How do you know that passengers don't want to look at bigger c/c, there are some people in the world who think the bigger the better.
I fit just fine down the centre of the aisle even though I am a size 18. I am completely in proportion, I have not yet had c-d disease as you guys are calling it and I drink a lot of water and hence have great skin.

At the end of the day I work for a company which demands impecable appearance (hair and makeup tidy and appropriate) and that the uniform is worn to standards. When I work in a position where I am bidding the customers farwell they can't thank us enough for a wonderful flight, not once have I ever heard of a passenger say (even in private) that they did not like the size of one of the crew.
I have however heard people say ''she looks far too skinny, someone give her a pie'' or ''she has far too much makeup on'' or ''they do not look very smart/tidy''

So remember, we are there for safety first (I was the quickest person to evacuate my 'sim' plane in training, only girl to close the door first time and can lift a life raft by myself!) and as long as we can do the job WHO CARES!
