Here we go again... There's the avalanche of cellulite telling everyone how they don't need to be fit to do their primary duty and how they'd rather fly with someone who's good at their job rather than someone who was fit, (implying that fit people aren't as good at their job as fat people), and how it's an undue administrative burden that should be addresses by proper manning levels and personal fitness trainers.
Read back through what has been written already by those who are "anti-fitness". This one is a treat to read:-
I personally would rather fly with someone like that than someone that isn't any good at the job but is a gym queen, just on the off chance we end up on the ground together.
He slides in a nice little insult to show his distaste but in the end the sentence is meaningless. Fortunately I don't fly any more because I'd rather not fly with someone who can barely pass a simple physical _and_ can't string together a cohesive sentence.
Here's another credit to mankind and military men. Nothing of sense to say, just a stream of insults:-
Instead of blowing hot air on here and in the Gym which you clearly spend too much time in, becoming some kind of queen, why don't you try shutting the F*ck up and doing some work.

You make some good points... But the Lion joke doesn't work in this situation... Nice try though...
In the long run, (pun intended folks...
), these things come back to two basic points. Firstly, and most importantly, it's an issue of personal pride and self discipline. If you aren't self disciplined enough to raise yourself out of your LazyBoy for 3 or 4 hours a week then what else are you not self disciplined enough to do. Many others can manage the time and be good at their primary and secondary duties so the "there isn't enough time" bleat really doesn't retain water, (another intended pun - sorry ladies - I can be a b1tch too you know...
). Secondly, their Airships have decided they want you looking fitter and leaner, (probably to try to help them look better themselves - but the reasons are irrelevant - this is what they want... end of story), and if they want something they will get it in the end. No matter how much you don't like it or how much it inconveniences you they will get their expected result... if they don't they will inconvenience you some more and they'll keep doing it until you comply...
Now, while you contemplate that last point, let's think back to all those comments along the lines of "I'd rather have a smart pilot than a fit pilot"... If you can't grasp the last point and understand that you might as well "just do it", (yep, another intentional barb...
), because if you don't your life will become more uncomfortable I'd suggest that you aren't as smart as you thought you were and, in that case, you are probably misleading yourself about your abilities in your primary duty - Thankfully, you are probably not misleading your superiors.
