Thai Airways has demanded that cabin crew slim down or ship out.
Staff have six months to hit their target waist measurements (32in for women, 35in for men) and BMI (25 for women, 27.5 for men).
But wait – it’s not what you think. As Teerapol Chotechanapibal, the carrier’s customer services VP explains, this not about body fascism at all. Here comes the science..
Teerapol has confounded his critics by explaining the measure thus. It’s actually a foolproof way of ‘improving the personality of flight attendants’.
You couldn’t make it up.
