"NEW DELHI, India -- Indian Airlines is clipping the wings of fat stewardesses and male flight attendants.
The state-run airline is warning cabin crew members that they'll be grounded if they're overweight by even a couple of pounds.
The airline's chairman told The Times of India newspaper that the cabin crew has to be presentable for the carrier to stay competitive.
Overweight crew members will be given 45 days of ground duty to shape up. They could face more severe punishment if they don't the lose excess baggage, company officials said."
Found this while searching the net the other day.
Could WW be the next one to implement this as a fuel saving measure
On a more serious note though, who else finds this crass and insensitive. Who says I can't do my job if I'm a couple of pounds over weight
