Due to the new equal opportunities laws now inforce, airlines are no longer allowed to employ a specific stereotype employee. That means thet like virgin atlantic used to be, you'd only be employed if you were beautiful, skinny and blonde! Now employers have to have a certain ratio of poeple from across the board be it plump, skinny, black or white. The airline i wor for had a disabled member of crew working for us, but she proved that she could efficiently carry out the duties related to evacuations, safety and customer sevice. Airlines can not discriminate against anyone now, so you should be ok with whichever airline you apply to.
