Those GAMA girls...again!

Seems kinda familiar to me! No doubt this will keep the "less under-nourished, more senior" members of the profession hopping mad!

Be fair ......

Every bit of the aeroplane is specified to be as light as possible. It is not unreasonable to look for the lightest solution that can do the job.

Weight reduction

Light is Right
Absolutely correct. If one hired a 12 stone girl instead of an 8 stone girl and she flew 600 hours a year she would cost the company about £250 a year in extra fuel burned................go on work it out yourself. We have a duty to reduce carbon emmissions (our beloved government tells us so) so it would be against government instructions to hire the 12 stoner! (I would hate to disobey the government)
The problem is that for exactly this same argument I am on a bloody diet!
P.S. How many hosties do B.A. have?

The same argument goes for pilots then, I presume?

Yes, read my post. I have aleady saved the comapny the equivalent of £80 per annum,
but I only fly about 400 hours a year. Work out how much weight I have lost so far?

If you guys are on about fuel costs and carbon emissions, then I have a good solution. Go down to the Congo and hire a load of Pygmies!!

Maybe train some up as pilots too.

It's only a website!

Calm down dears...........fat in the front, thin in the rear, and that's only my preference! Now about those Size12's; I'm Size 10 1/2 UK, Size 11 US and Size 43 Eur, so do I get the job or am I consigned to the cockpit?
P.S. Screwballburling, I REALLY hope you don't wind up having to fly with the Goddess in future, because if you do, I wouldn't drink the tea!
