Don't worry. There are a lot of fat b.......ds holding Class1 medicals.......and I mean fat! Whilst BMI has been shown to a rather hit and miss measurement basis (I would have thought 6'5'' at 17st would not look at all out of place - probably the going rate for a second row, I'd have thought) I'm surprised that medicals are granted to individuals who are clearly carrying a lot of extra weight around. So, you can be a smoking, drinking, lazy, overweight couch potato on the verge of a heart attack - but as long as you haven't got one of the myriad of obscure heart blips you can be grounded for, the CAA is quite happy for Mr Lardy to sit up front.
