Printablekcwm said: The whole notion of BMI isn't a very good indicator of how healthy someone really is. Take for example you have a person who isn't very tall but is incredibly muscular and has no fat at all, but because of muscle weighing more than fat if they were to get a BMI done on them they would come out as overweight or obese when in fact they aren't.
Don't get me wrong it can be a good indicator for more normal people who aren't body builders or professional athletes. Its just a flawed system because it doesn't take into account muscle or body type. Awww, are folks using supposed BMI charts? I was calibrated and then water weighed to establish a Bmi free of muscle and other tissue. If folks are using charts, they are relying on assumptions of average muscle weight and tissue composition. Well look whom I found dipping their toe in the murky waters! :eyeroll: At least offer me a damn cup of coffee! | |

Zombie is right, though, in that on your average U.S. domestic flight the flight attendants will be hovering around 50 years of age for the most part ...The only flight I've been on that made sure to have young, VERY attractive female flight attendants was a flight to Spain that I took from Canada...complete with dresses that lad slits almost up to the ladies' waists lol  . You don't see that on U.S. flights, ever lol... | |

I guess not! British Airways, United and Qantas have staff that look like they just busted out of Cell Block H. Virgin, Tiger and Jetstar all have younger staff members.
