ARE OBESE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS DRIVING UP COSTS?


Are overweight flight attendants causing aviation fuel prices to rise? The more I look into this issue, the more I'm inclined to believe there seems to be an causational relationship here.

In 1991, standards were passed easing restrictions on flight attendant weight. Simply put, flight attendants were basically permitted to pack on the pounds after 1991. And pack on the pounds they did, faster than you can say "pass the pasta".

Similarly, aviation fuel prices have also increased since the early 90's. I posit that the easing obesity restrictions in 1991 has led to increased fuel prices.
