Air India union opposes cabin crews' pre-flight weight, BMI checking rules

Air India's cabin crew union has objected to the company's new rules mandating pre-flight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight, checks by "grooming associates". 

"...it will be the responsibility of the cabin supervisor of the flight to ensure that her/his set of the crew are well turned out and follow complete uniform regulations," a communication sent out by the airline had said.
