IB you are probably correct.................However when the next blitz starts on smokers ..........It will only be the smoker complaining. Its all very funny until the light shines on you.
What really grates is you either hold a Class 1 medical or you don't, if you don't have one you dont fly, if you do you pass go and carry on working.
Oddly the size of ones waist does not indicate ones ability to operate a jet ( I have seen all shapes and sizes stuff up and shine in equal measure!)
If a person has history of taking way over the average number of sickie days then a cause should be investigated. So smokers with chest infections, sporty types injuring themselves or whatever but for flips sake lets target the culprits and not villify any particular group just because someone has a theory.
Just one more thought .................... Divert off a Polar Route and you may be grateful to have a couple of extra kilos on board...........never seen a skinny Polar Bear!
