To get down to a weight of about 133-147lbs if at 5'7. To me that is still very fat.

147 lbs without a good amount of muscle mass is definitely pushing it.

Agreed, but 133lb is fine.

That's BMI 20-23. You're seriously deluded if the lower half of the healthy BMI range is fat to you.

That's not the lower half, it's in the middle/high end which is fine if you're not concerned with your looks. Im 5'7 and can confirm these numbers are still fat. I don't lift anymore but did 5* a week for over half a decade so I know what sufficient muscle mass looks like on my frame too, and 135 was my end bulk weight and a little bloaty even then. 145 would be quite pudgy on a woman at 5'7 unless she's been working out for a very long period of time.

Those weights are within the healthy BMI range for the height.

Wish American airline companies had the gall to do this. I’ve seen many a heifer on United/Delta flights that would be more than useless in the event of an emergency.

A shame it's only one Pakistani airline. My gawd the rees if they tried that in the US.

If I was on that crew I'd occasionally bring in donuts and stuff and then get after the fatties that try to take any. And also eat it in front of them.

Holy shit, if they don't do this it's not only endangering the lives of others but their own lives too, fucking losers. I guess they figure a quick crash death is better than the eventual beetus death.

That's not unreasonable at all. At 5'6, I feel tubby at 140. Besides, aircrew should be slim, they have to fit in all those small spaces while being able to move, breath, and not impede passengers.

Extra weight is a real cost to constantly fly around and is a legitimate safety issue. If you can discriminate against height for the crew being unable to perform some tasks, you definitely should discriminate against weight.
