Do airline discriminate against fatty?

Wait, they're making an active effort to hire hot stewardesses? Kudos to them! All of the stewardesses I've encountered have been NOT hot, despite everything TV and movies have taught me.
 
China, whether in the public or private sector, imposes physical standards to present a better "face", or because it feels it's better for business.
Nothing new here.

I have to agree. You'd be a piss poor steward if you couldn't get down the aisle.

Why aren't fat people suing the Airline for not hiring fat people? Why is it legal to impose weight limits for airline steward jobs but not ok to impost weight limit in the kitchen? I hate working with fat people in the kitchen, one push and my face could be in the fryer.

If there's one job that contains the most (seemingly) gay men it's airline stewardry.

The U.S. doesn't consider fatness a protected class against discrimination, much less in China.

I believe if you are morbidly obese, you fall under the disabled category.

LOL, so true! It seems only the international carriers have attractive flight attendants. I'm guessing that it's such a low-paying crappy job that beautiful people in the USA have better career opportunities, like softcore modelling on the Web.
