Airline Orders Cabin Crew to Slim Down

Pakistani International Airlines has sent a warning to 1,800 members of their cabin crew - lose some weight! A memo said the employees have six months to trim down to the airline's required limit or they might be grounded. PIA has a suggested weight chart for the cabin crew. For example, a medium frame woman of 5 foot 7 inches should weight between 133 and 147 pounds according to their guidelines. Flight attendants will be subject to weight checks before they fly. Have you worked somewhere where you have been asked to lose weight? Was it illegal for them to ask you that?
