Would you want to be on a plane with a flight attendant over size 18?

I think if they're so big that they interfere with mobility within the plane it isn't just a convenience issue, it is a safety issue-which anyone over an 18 would be. I also think the hereditary link for obesity is overblown-it has more to do with attitudes toward, amounts eaten and types of food eaten within a family. I am currently 6'5"-190#. Folks tell me all the time how lucky I am to be "skinny"-which my stomach still isn't. I am not lucky, I have to be careful what and how much I eat. Two of my brothers are 350# + and one is 300# +. Half my sisters are 200# +. It has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with self control. I see what they eat and how much. They whine all the time how they eat normally and gain weight-normal foods in massive, never-ending quantities. It would be easy for me to go down that road and I choose not to. It's not easy to say no, but I don't want to be fat like my family.
+1!
Well said! I'm 5' 7" and weigh 133 lb.

I think it is a charter service... I still think they are around.
Seriously, when do you stop? How many size 28 attendants are there? Say there is 5, is it worth it for their other company to basically have to do a one time run of 50 uniforms. Then have them sit on the shelf for the minuscule handful of sized 28 flight attendants?

Whats wrong with excepting people for who they are? Are you that insecure about your self that you have to worry about the overweight people achieving some sort of celebrity status? Who are you to judge how they should live their life and what they should look like ?
