[quote=richkidpoorkid;2845948]Right on Soundbarviolatr...you were probably talking about the BMI (body mass index) that they require in Japan.
A lot of people fail here even if they are not obese or over weight bec the Japanese medical examiners adhere to the bmi number of 30 & below.
That means that you can be muscle bound pumping irons or playing football but they want the foreign pilots to have the body proportion of the typical Japanese to be given the medical certificate.
As I was told, some foreign pilots were required to loose weight (they were referred to a gym in japan which cost them $80 per month) in 1 month with their training pay of $7200 being paid all the while. ///JH is a ''cono'' kid who had nothing but a piece of you know what, he was placed in the pal management by his cousin ANDY who is a B747 CP in a foreign airline now, pero tinuka dn nya when the Belmonte group took over PAL
