Avoirdupois

Apparently, AEROFLOT, the Russian airline likes their attendants "svelte" as signified by their guidelines limiting uniform size to 14 or smaller. This rule affected at least 500 employees, two of which successfully sued their employer. The court's narrow ruling was that the airline could not link income to clothing sizes. The company defended their regulation because "heavier flight attendants added to the fuel costs and could prove less nimble in emergencies." NIMBLE, really?
