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!


Cabin crew manager only allowed to hire 'young, slim and single' air stewardesses - Telegraph

Its in the Daily Express as well.....
 

Daily Express | UK News :: Cabin crew wanted: young, slim, pretty singles only'
:rolleyes:

This would never had happened in a man's outfit!:}

Ooooo......the Wicked Witch..... Has Lost Her Crown.....ghastly Shame It Didnt Choke Her........:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

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.

What goes around comes around...
 

:rolleyes:

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?

Hawker
 

Enough to keep you happy (discounting the Robbers Dogs that is):ok::ok::E

Merlin
I think my days of being kept happy by BA hosties have long disappeared

The same argument goes for pilots then, I presume? :)

Light is Right
 

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.

And the lightest "Solution" to the Job is always in the Back.....unlike the "PotbellY" Pigs forcing the Nose down upfront......:ok::D

You cow!! How dare you!!:}

Oh diddums.......hit a raw nerve did I..........truth hurts:ok:

JetGoddess
This is a Pilots Rumour Network, (see PPRuNe) howcome a trolly dolly is spouting on it? Set up your own nework

WHO SAID I AM A TROLLEY DOLLY????????:ok:

I did..........

jettgoddess - you must be, you can actually spell trolley!

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!
