Should be interesting trying to enforce that.
Why not? If the offshore employers make it a contractual requirement, then all of the fatties have got just over a year to lose the weight. (The same rule should obviously also apply to the pilots up the front).
It will, however, probably have a knock on effect on the sort of food that is provided in offshore galleys.
