Weight Chart

In order to be hired as a flight attendant, your weight should be in proportion to your height. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT JUST AN AESTHETIC ONE. The following chart can be used as a guideline for you to determine whether your weight would disqualify you from a career as a flight attendant. Airlines no longer weigh applicants, but recruiters are able to determine visually whether or not your weight is within the required parameters.
