Sorry, my point is, we may have equal opps in law, but what really happens in pratice - is or can be worlds apart. Law says, size should not matter during selection, however, take a good look at the intake of new crew.. would you say, most if not all are a H.W.P.... with the exception being the odd one - on the heavy side.
The reason I used check-in/gound staff as an example is, this part of the work force seems in my eyes to be more representive of of the community I live in. However, the crew community seems in my eyes not to be that representative.
And we have laws about that too, again, in the real world, e.t.c,,,
You know (I hope) and I know, it would be near impossable for someone to take some kind of legal action, beacuse they thougth the airline thought they were too fat.
Hope this helps..
Now, this of course would not be a open discussion in the USA..
