A legal battle for 700 grams. On one side of the scale, the Malaysia Airlines airline. On the other, an airline hostess who was fired for having that little kilo of "overweight . " The courts have proved the strict body mass index (BMI) of the Malaysian company.
This is the summary of what has happened to Ina Meliesa Hassim after working for 25 years in the company . The flight attendant was fired in 2017 for being above the "healthy" BMI to continue flying. With 160 centimeters of weight, it should be kept below 61 kilos as stipulated in the airline manual. To his regret, he reached 61.7 kilos in 2015.
The airline had argued that Hassim had been granted 18 months to comply with the new rules and that he had not submitted to several of the company's weight control appointments . The ruling points out that "the weight control program was in no way discriminatory, since it applies between all crew members and the company had ensured at all times that the plaintiff and the entire crew had all the opportunities possible to achieve your optimal weight . "
Malaysia Airlines explains that its weight policy is necessary to " maintain its premium airline image ". "With the current policy, the airline looks for a healthier crew that projects an image in line with that of the best cabin staff in the world," he explained.
