I remember PIA used to have foreign air hostesses. Then PIA was still a good airline.

So you need to be good in order to hire good staff. PIA has to improve its work environment and its company profile. I recently travelled on PIA international flight after 11 years. I did notice improvement in terms crew grooming and cleanliness of the plane. Also, the meal, although not as elaborate as its in Turkish or Emirates, has certainly improved.

We may not need to hire foreign staff at all. We have pretty women and handsome men in abundance who can very well represent Pakistan in the flight.

Lol, isn't it strange, that the professions that need physical fitness the most are the ones with highest obesity rates?

Only European and East Asian police tend to have physically fit police officers. American police are a mixed bag, I have seen very physically fit US cops as well as obese or overweight ones.

Pakistani police are either very obese and overweight or extremely skinny and lanky. Not sure if it's due to socioeconomic background of the particular officers (fat officers from well to do families, skinny officers dudue to poor background).

PIA tells 'overweight' cabin crew to trim down or face the axe

January 5, 2019

National flag carrier sends memo to 1,800 cabin crew .

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) seems to be constantly mired in controversy as of late with the national flag carrier now ordering members of the cabin crew to reduce their weight within six months.

The airline is cracking down on what it terms the “excess weight” of some of its cabin crew.

In a memo distributed to approximately 1,800 cabin crew, saying they must trim down or face being grounded.

The order, issued January 1, 2019, by Aamir Bashir, the national flag carrier’s general manager of flight services, advises that official excess weight limits would be cut back by five pounds a month.

Currently, flight attendants who are 30 pounds over are still eligible for flight duty.

PIA issues its crew a suggested weight chart for differing heights and body types.

For a “medium frame” woman of 5 feet 7 inches height (1.7 meters), for example, the guide is 133 to 147 pounds.

“Weight check of all the cabin crew will be carried out at their base stations respectively and comprehensive data will be maintained for perusal of management,” according to the memo.

Those already “on weight check” need to report monthly to a “grooming cell” — the term is not defined any further — to receive clearance to fly.

‘Slim, smart and fit’

Around 100 — just over 5% — of the crew would need to lose weight by July 1 to avoid grounding, Mashhood Tajwar, a PIA spokesman said.

Tajwar described the crackdown on overweight flight crew as a “regular, routine matter,” and suggested that the memo was issued as standards for weight had lapsed over time, and was issued to ensure that the flight attendants were “slim, smart and fit.”



“No one would like to have shabby crew in the aircraft,” he said, adding that the airline had received complaints about “obese” flight attendants, but did not elaborate on how many passengers had taken issue with their cabin crews’ appearances.

He said that the initiative was put in place for reasons of “both” appearance and health, and insisted that PIA was not alone in insisting their cabin crews hit weight targets.

How is this controversial, this should be implemented through the whole nation. Japan does it to it's people, it's not a controversy. It shouldn't be for us either.

Why are there any Male flight attendants? This should be 50/50 on each airline
