BMI
I thought that the BMI was to be 30 and under to qualify, I guess its otherwise. For pilots to have BMI of 28 in the US and western countries, they have to be quite fit and in shape.
BMI if flawed as it simply computes height and weight ratio. A more accurate index would be body fat ratio. People with muscles weigh more that people with fat. I guess Japanese do not know that muscle weighs more than fat. This is their game and they make the rules. Imagine US companies telling pilots to be under 28 BMI!
Staying under 28 BMI would require one to be on sushi and Japanese diet!
On a side note, how are KAL people with the BMI number?
