On Monday, a few Air India <a href=\"http:\/\/avindia.blogspot.com\/2009\/01\/air-india-sacks-10-air-hostesses-for.html\">flight attendants were grounded<\/a> because they were overweight, but airlines ground attendants for less.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more than three, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re grounded. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll wait for the pimples to disappear. If they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re likely to be grounded for three months. If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for your skin, forget about being a flight attendant,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d an airline official told TOI.<br \/>He added, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We advise youngsters to use liquid soaps wherever they are. The skin tends to get dry as moisture dissipates in a pressurised cabin. Liquid soaps would be best as they keep the skin good. Skin tone and texture will be smooth. Use of cream is not mandatory, but definitely suggested.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re of a particular height, your weight should be commensurate with that. An official of another airline explained: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Men can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be less than 5 ft 6 inches and women 5 ft 4 inches. Anything over and above these are fine. Too short wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do. But weight also should be proportionate.<br \/>On average, men can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t weigh more than 25 BMI (body mass index) and women 22 BMI. If they cross this, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be considered obese and will have to be grounded.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Consequently, flight attendants are extremely cautious about their diet, for their jobs are at stake.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">07\/01\/09 Prashanth G N\/Times of India<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangalore: More than three pimples and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re grounded.
