Advantages: None as their weight is a handicapp

Disadvantages: In wiew of their overweight they are slow and short tempered

I flew by air India from Heathrow to Delhi return. Outward, the flight was delayed by four hours at Healthrow airport. The food was very good. Boarding was bit chaotic, all passengers rushed to board. Instead the staff could have boarded passengers according to seat numbers. This meant that within the plane there were people looking for thier seats and every one tried to cram the hand luggage into lockers. Some hand luggage with size of small suitcases.

Air India has to be commended upon good policy of ageism and equal rights for staff. Most of the airhostesses were into late fourties, plump with massive bellies. As these airhostesses carry excess weight, they are slow, short tempered and have attitude problems. They try to be accommodating but the state of their physical fitness is a disability. I did worry as to how these obese air hostesses with cope in emergency

Summary: Air India should improve its image and employ physically fit staff
