This is so ridiculous, as we all know the BMI means nothing...
I flew with a guy the other day, he was about 175cm but must have weighed in at 50kg maximum, he smoked and drank as if it was going out of fashion, for breakfast he had a cigarette and an espresso and generally had a petty unhealthy lifestyle.
I think he was about 40 but looked more like 55 anyway he according to the GCAA he is a fit individual and is signed off to hold an unrestricted medical without any further blood testes etc...go and figure.
In the meantime, people are being looked over because their BMI is over 30 but yet are fit, healthy sporty individual...
